I took your motivation as asking legitimate questions regarding a legitimate
issue.

Is it me or are many people 'going underground' where discussions on LUGNET are
concerned? I mean, I've received a few e-mails lately regarding some of my
posts to various threads--either stating that they agree with what I stated or
more often stating that I should go crawl under a rock somewhere because my
opinion isn't right.
I have no problem going 'off-line' for matters that don't require postings to
LUGNET--personal stuff and the like. But if you feel you have a legitimate
point regarding a post or what someone said, then why aren't you posting it to
LUGNET to begin with? Why take it 'off line'?
One of the ironies of this issue and LUGNET is the idea of 'cross contaminating'
of posts from other newsgroups causing people much chagrin. These very same
people take LUGNET posts to other venues--either other newsgroups or to private
e-mails.
I have no problem with 'cross contamination'. If something exciting on Jlug
happens and someone wants to post here about it (and it relates to some aspect
of LEGO), then by all means, post it here so other AFOL's can enjoy that 'LEGO
Goodness' (tm).
If, however, someone posts something that "you don't appreciate" and you have a
point to make, why wouldn't you post it to the original thread? Is your point
not worthy of debate and discussion? You obviously thought it merited somehting
or you woudln't have e-mailed or taken it somewhere else.
Stating that this isn't directed solely at Calum, but to many of us who want our
opinions known but aren't willing to put them in an 'open discussion group'.
Bottom line--if Janey's post starts a healthy communication about the ambassador
program, and the ambassador program really does relate to all things LEGO, then
the questions shouldn't be 'why did she post these questions to LUGNET in the
first place? What's she trying to prove?' but rather the question should be,
'if the ambassador program has been around for, what, over a year now?, then why
haven't these questions been asked earlier right here on LUGNET?'
Why did it take this long for people to start asking these legitimate questions
regarding issues that affect us all?
Once again I state for the record,
Janey--you go girl!!
