I'm not sure I picked the most relevant part of your post, but whatever...
But, I strongly disagree with this view of yours. As others have already
pointed out, there are only so many ways the bricks go together -- AND it's
a toy for crying out loud! Perhaps someone hasn't even seen someone else's
creations and still comes up with the same solution as that person.
And to be honest, if Mladen doesn't want to post because of this, so be it.
I will not exactly lose sleep over it.

| <snip> Okay, I'm going to say this, as I've been feeling it for a while. I am a relative newcomer to Lugnet, but I've seen this issue come up a number of times in the past, particularly involving Mladen. Lugnet's existence is a great service to us; (...)
