Well I may be mistaken but I think that Todd and Suz may feel a bit betrayed
by LD.  The one example that comes to mind is the T-Shirt Thread.

http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=863

Which a few months later got to this response from LD:

http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=2012

Which I think Got Suzanne upset:

http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=2025

And you know what I don't blame her.  All I know about this is what has been
posted on LUGNET but it seems like some promises were made and then retracted
which could be interpreted as a "lie".

I am not saying that this had anything to do with the decision to restrict TLC
posting to the .lego.* groups, but it is an indication that things are not
totally rosey between Todd, Suz, and LD.  Again I could be wrong but I just
thought I would point that out.



As for the rest of the discussion I think there are some that think TLC has
been banned from LUGNET when that isn't the case at all.  I actually think the
new restrictions will give LD a higher profile here because we all know exactly
where to look to find offical TLC posts, I think .lego.announce may become one
of my favorite places to look because I know whatever is posted there is
"official LEGO information".  Again I support the idea, even though the "vocal
majority" seems to be against it.

(...) That explicit statement may have been Mark's straw man rather than a real statement, but I got that implication from things that have been said here. (...) One man's trash is another man's treasure. I didn't see all of those posts as clutter. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.lego.direct)
