For what? Just curious - and how do you know?

I do not think its that deep, I was more curious if *you* personally thought
you were going about it in the correct way. I take it you do, because you
see it as a good way to get results (and it did in one case). And you also
have no regrets about anything - its not like you care about 99.5% of the
people on this site, they are nothing more than "e-identies" to you - just
words on a screen. Not actuall people who can do anything for/to you.

I think we all see some bad things about the Lego community, but we are
still a part of it - its what comes with the territory. I am sure everybody
here can say one thing they wish Lego did, or wish Lego did not do (example
- Todd and his Junioration (sp) rants). So I do not hink there is anything
wrong with that, just why would you have to pay a price for wanting to
change them? I have seen Todd do some things that I think were wrong and
unjust - but oh well - what can I do? Rant and rave? What would that
accomplish? It would get me banned....

I think this is very true, with the exception of "I have no concept of what
is "correct" or "right" or "wrong" or "good" or "bad"." I think we all have
this, its if we pay attention to it or not. You seen to have turned that
switch to "off" . I can not see you not seeing anything you do as wrong, I
can name a few things that are blatently wrong, but would you do those type
of things just to see what happened?

And I think you did a very good job of bringing that up.
