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.
