This is like going back to the dark ages !
Your website is on my top5 list of websites. I stop by nearly every day to
see what great new MOCs people have build. Your webdesign and the
webinterface for uploading galleries are simply great. I hope LEGO reacts
quick and gives you the permission to continue the Instuction and Catalog
scan library.

In fact your work is excellent advertising for LEGO. For example: I ordered
the "Super Chief" at S@H because I saw it on brickshelf.com ! LEGO should
therefore:
a) Give you the permission to continue this excellent service
b) Give you all the webspace needed for ALL galleries
c) Give you a JOB !!! (and tons of LEGOs ;)

Anyway, good luck for finding a new job ! Also good luck as the Manager of
Brickshelf L.L.C. ! I´d gladly pay a monthly or anual fee for this great
site. Please let us know how we can support you.

Before anyone gets too excited about this, no money changed hands in this transaction. This is a necessary part of the conversion from a "hobby" site to a commercial site. While it would have been nice to run it as a hobby site forever, the immense (...) (25 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.general) !
