          Re: Punk! —Ross Crawford
      (...) Well I guess I've tipped my hand in another post in this thread - the first band I ever played in did mostly punk (or punky versions of non-punk), so I'm not quite as anti-punk as these 2 tips may suggest.... ROSCO (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Re: Sept/Oct LEGO Magazine —Matthew Jeffery
     Personally, I think that these jokes are a bit rude. Disclosure of information has never been a problem with the lego company, so why the sudden confidentiality? I can only form an opinion based on the two I saw in the post. In Australia, we only (...) (22 years ago, 20-Sep-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
