Very bad wording on my part... whoops.  And I'm out of my room too away from
the newsreader where I can cancel posts.

Rose - my comment about having a filter on Richard's messages was not aimed
as a slight against you.  It was expressing my dislike for the intensity and
sometimes offensiveness of his messages.  I'm sorry if you took it that way.
I believe you have really good opinions of LEGO and marketing, so does
Richard, he just goes about it in a way that I find offensive.  I think we
all agree for the most part, but its different methods of going about saying
something that upsets me.  I have not put any filter on your messages, and
based on your comments thus far I see no need to.

I'm sorry if I've offended you.

Ick...open mouth, insert foot.  I *really* wasn't thinking when I said this,
and didn't see that I was doing the very thing I said I didn't like.

Again, sorry, when I get back to my place I'll take care of that post.
