Hello,
While going through some of the current official Lego design contest entries
held on their site, I came across a startling discovery: The model in first
place has been on the web for as long as I can remember, and it also belongs • to
Mr. Greg Williams. However, it says on lego.com that it was made by some 10
year old kid. I invite you all to go to this link,
http://www.mindspring.com/~gregw/images/apc-left.jpg , and tell me that the
model in first place on www.lego.com is not the same thing. If any Lego
employee or site maintainer or something is reading this, I ask you to please
regard this message. Either remove the model from your contest all together, • or
give proper credit to its rightful creator.

I had to go see this myself.  My favorite part is that the kid who posted
didn't even bother to build it, take a picture and then submit the model.  He
just left it in POVray.  Like some of the other people resonding to this one I
am annoyed with the Official Site.  It really is just marketing and fodder for
young children.
