Adrian brings up an interesting point--what did we do before the internet?
I know that I was pretty much on my own where this particular hobby was
concerned--I received no positive feedback at all, and much humouring, and
some negative feedback from those around me.
Since LUGNET, and the realization that I'm not alone out there in the world,
I would have to say that my enjoyment of LEGO has increased exponentially
(as well as my budget to buy LEGO, but that's neither here nor there).
Since meeting rtlToronto, I have become quite confident that I'm basically
pretty much normal--as normal as an AFOL can be, I guess :)
So just by having a forum to even post MOCS, as far as I'm concerned, is
validation enuf for our hobby of choice.

| WHEW! This topic of feedback has grown so big and deep that I figure I might as well go into the pre-LUGNET, pre-RTL, pre-online world that many of us AFOL's lived in. Here's the Q. Did you get feedback 10, 15, 20 yrs or more ago from your MOC's? A (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.general)
