(...) How is this any better than having the message appear in the other group? On the web interface, it looks the same - the list of messages in the thread, when viewed from the other group, includes the official LD message. If you allow this type (...)

(...) I think the initial intent was to keep from being "strongarmed" by Lego into actually being a real commercial force.
