1)  I gave an equally bad review to the Final Duel set, but Richie didn't
mind because he agreed with me.  Turns out I haven't bought that set either.
I thought that was funny.  :)

The problem I had with your "review" was not that it was bad, but that you'd
included an untrue statement, and that inclusion indicated that it was
extremely unlikely you'd built the set.

And I'm curious... where did I say I agreed with you?

My mistake.  Inferred, not back up by fact.  My apology to you.

Maybe no one deduced that you hadn't bought them or built them. But when I
read your comment on the column, I *knew* you didn't know what you were
talking about.

They are reviews.  They are my own lame opinions.  They are not fact.  No
where do I claim that I am the LEGO authority to be believed above all
others.  The site uses lots of humor to attempt to convey its message.  I'm
sorry much of that humor seems to be lost on you.  If you don't like the
site, don't bother returning to it.

That said, if you are really dissatisfied with my site, then I heartily
encourage you to start up the "Completely Truthful LEGO Reviews" website.  I
encourage all opinions and voices in these issues.

3)  The review on my site was intended to generate a reaction.  Any kind of
reaction.  So long as it drew attention to Jack and his shortcomings.  I
think it worked very well at achieving its goal.

Sometime's truth gets in the way of a good story, eh?

You lost me.  Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

Regards,
Allan B.
