(...) Hi, this is a very interesting discussion! Concerning the Ambassadors I have heard that they had 1500 emails in only one season. If you have to read (and partly answer) 1500 e-mails, this will keep you busy enough to stay out of other forums. (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-06, to lugnet.general)

I'm under some NDA action and it hasn't affected my posting/building at all. The time commitments were always very minimal. My devotion is to the building-- the relationship with TLG was secondary.
