And this community was made possible by Todd and Suzanne. I know I owe them a
lot for enhancing the online experience of LEGO...much more than I owe TLC. I
am glad that LUGNET is getting some press recognition and I would hope that TLC
is happy for LUGNET as well.

And I for one am glad that LUGNET is here to support the LEGO hobbyist rather
than as a means to pump up the company whose products we use in the hobby. And
I hope that people can continue to express their OPINIONS on what TLC does or
doesn't do right without TLC getting upset about the amount of negative
messages they read on LUGNET.
I usually don't post in lugnet.lego.direct because I don't feel I have anything
particularly insightful to say to TLC. But a lot of other people have
legitimate praise and complaint about the LEGO product and I hope they continue
to express themselves freely.
