Yes. It is a hint. But that’s all there is - a hint here, a clue there.
Something dramatic has happened in the community - some people are allowed
to know details, others not - and it is as if the whole thing never
happened.
I won’t post on this thread again. Rest assured: I won’t raise the topic
again.

If it’s any consolation, here’s my story. Note: I am not just speaking as
someone who didn’t get his magazine but as someone who was to be doing face to
face business with Matt’s BrickMedia.
At the 2003 BricksWest, Matt brought myself and a few others together durring
the show because someone there asked if we would be interested in doing a LEGO
display at show called SIGGRAPH to be held in San Diego. I was certainly for it
because it was going to be in my hometown.
At first Matt showed a lot of excitement doing this and he said to me and others
that once Bricks magazine was off the ground he would be very eager to help out
in any way and do a full story in the magazine about it. He gave me the
impression that he was very confidant that Bricks would be off to a roaring
start and be in this quick. He also said he would keep in close contact with
SIGGRAPH’s organizers and even see if he could get LEGO to help get the bricks
for the show. If that’s not enough, he even drew a sketch of an enormous
creation that would be loaded with chrome bricks right in from of me.
Well, as the show was getting closer and closer, those of us who were in on it
knew we had better get our butts moving. We did a conference call but Matt
wasn’t a show. We did an in-person meet in San Diego, again Matt wasn’t there.
When SIGGRAPH did happen, there was no sign whatsoever of Matt. The last e-mail
I got from Matt about SIGGRAPH was dated March 20th and nothing since.
Others in the organization for the LEGO display in SIGGRAPH did not hear
anything either for MONTHS too! And even after SIGGRAPH, none have hear anything
from him. We who were dedicated to participating LEGO in SIGGRAPH had the smarts
to go on without him and it paid off.
For all any of us know, Matt has taken himself and his family off to an island
in the carribean or someplace, used the money he took to change his identity,
and will never be seen or heard from again.
The End
Adr.
