Over the better part of the last year, I've done a lot of thinking about the

I am sure it also happened to you: you see a thumbnail on BrickShelf and
immediatly you know who is the model author. Lego is much more unlimited
than i thought at first. Each builder has unique building style and
techniques. And also a unique building process, from carefully chosen
individual bricks, to wild assembly.

The good news:
Your experience with lego is both intimate and unlimited.

The bad news:
You experience it alone. You can't share it. You share only excitement.

So, in a certain sense, the lego community includes everybody but excludes
everyone.

Hi Damien -
I'm afraid I don't totally understand what you're getting at. I've built
projects with other LEGO fans, and shared the experience of building
projects with them. I've built things that would not have become what they
did were it not for both, or all parties involved. To me, that's sharing the
LEGO experience.

-Tim
