Me too. But in this case, *Target* is the source of the leak. At this point,
it's fair game.

The only issue that comes into it for me is the one of respect for Lego.
Out of respect for them, I personally will avoid posting data that I might
have (theoretically -- I don't actually have any) that they don't want
public.

However, asking Todd to delete posts is *not* the way for Lego to continue
to have my respect. They should have contacted the original poster *nicely*
and in a non-threatining way and asked politely. Then, *he* could have asked
Todd to remove the posts.

Or, Lego could start at the source of the problem and ask Target to change
their policies (or to formulate some -- my guess is that the actual case is
that Target hasn't bothered with this issue at all).

Either way, once a something has been revealed to the public -- by whatever
means -- it's not a secret. Trying to squelch conversation brings up freedom
of speech issues. Companies who don't have respect for that shouldn't expect
much respect in turn.

(...) The problem here is that target is so big that they could take action against efforts by TLG to tell them how to run their stock systems or whatever (e.g. discontinuing the sale of lego) and that would loose sales for TLG. (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Interesting question. The info is out there. It WILL be discussed. I've received numerous copies of it already. I could simply post it on my website or to RTL or any number of places (either taking credit for it or as anonymously as possible) (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
