Gotta agree with Eric here.
And wow, I guess I either need to spend more time reading various groups again
or give up entirely. In fact, I'm a little scared after looking at the little
dots view of this thread. Most of what I'm seeing are "cancelled" messages.
Coming to all of this late (I never saw the original message, don't much care
about it one way or the other - but anyone who has it feel free to e-mail it
to me, I'll keep quiet) I guess I just have to trust that Todd either got
permission from all those posters to zap their messages, doesn't need it
(probably true, according to the tos), and exercised some good judgement in
this wholesale deletion of a discussion.
I know Todd's a good guy, so I guess I can hope that he exercised good
judgement, but I guess if we were waiting for a more obvious answer to
the "will Lego have any sort of influence here" we just got it.
Opinions may differ on that, of course, and if Todd says he was acting to
protect Lego's privacy, I guess I have to believe him, but this sounds a lot
like grabbing some of the fur off the cat after he's out of the bag and trying
to shove that back in, realizing the cat is still running around in plain site
elsewhere.
