All in all, what does it really matter????  I mean, they made a SPECIAL
effort to offer these sets to US FIRST - they could have easily ignored us
alltogether, but no - They gave us first shot.  I would definitely say this
belongs in all of the newsgroups they posted it in, he also did the right
thing by fixing the reply to part. I would consider this an announcement of
GRAND scale! Look at the rating for this set, people LOVE this set, and it
goes for crazy amounts on ebay and brickbay - when and if you can find it.
In no way would I call a MOC by Kevin, or ANYBODY else (not picking on
Kevin)proper to go into the announce thread, BUT when LEGO makes a SPECIAL
effort on a SPECIAL set, it really does belong there.  We as a whole have
done nothing but sh*t on LD recently, and they do this for us, and you sh*t
on this?  You must really not want them to continue to offer these great
items to us in the future, I know I would say "well f*ck you and your
keyboard" if I was Lego.  Just look at where this thread has gone, there are
2 main branches to this thread, and both are REALLY NEGATIVE branches.  What
are you people doing?????  Maybe you need to take a break from LEGO for a
while to grow up and relax.  I mean LEGOS are just TOYS, not a way of life -
I fully understand that you may feel different - but really, give me a
break.  I did buy one of these sets,and am glad they did, I am going to
email Jake and thank him for this, and to give my regrets over you actions
that you have set out on. And I really think this thread should be taken off
the mainpage - is this what you want people to see?  Let it die, or just
re-post the original thread, and put it wherever you like and request
follow-ups to wherever you like, that way you can have it your way, and
hopefully THEN you will be happy - if not - then RELAX!!! Have a coke and a
smile or something.  I am sorry - this has been bugging me ALOT and I had to
put my 2 cents in.

Great News!

I just wanted to pass on some good news. I was just told that we have 86
6769 Fort Legoredo sets in stock at Shop at Home!

This is great that Jake is letting us know about this stuff, but is it
appropriate in lugnet.announce?

It's not, no...  But fortunately, there's a simple solution for future things
of this type -- LD can (please) post to the .announce.lsahs group instead of
the main .announce group.  The .announce.lsahs group is specifically set up
for LEGO Shop At Home Service announcements.

Its charter currently says that it's for "Unofficial announcements pertaining
to LEGO® Shop-At-Home Service: summaries of weekly U.S. phone specials and
other notable specials"...
WHO CARES!!  Will the world end?  Just be happy they did this for us! GEESH!
YOu sound like little kids.

...but the word "unofficial" could certainly disappear now that LD is here.

If LD could remember to post these types of things to .announce.lsahs, that
would be great.  The main .announce group isn't for commercial announcements.
No harm done, but let's remember that lots of other people are restraining,
and LD shouldn't get special treatment. • WHY NOT?  ARENT THEY WHY WE ARE HERE????

I have deliberately *not* been announcing my
commercial stuff in .announce because I thought it was not OK.
