hurtful to Lego about fans discussing these upcoming sets, which does
nothing but generate publicity, that it is worth it to TLC to actually
request that we cease and desist discussing it, thereby creating bad vibes
between Lego and their fan community?

A quick tangent:
I didn't hear TLC request that anyone cease and desist from discussing this
information or anything else.  To the best of my knowledge, the sole request
was expungement of preexisting posts containing TLC-sensitive information.
You can be sure on gut instinct of course that TLC would rather that people
not discuss the information, but I'm almost positive that no edict has been
issued.  Maybe you weren't implying that they had, but it kinda sounded that
way and I just want to make sure the record is straight.

I'm just a little confused, I guess.

A list of (possible) upcoming set names, set numbers, and prices was posted.
TLC asked you to remove them.  Are you really saying that if I went over to
lugnet.space and said "well, I wonder what set number XXXX 'Blah blah blah' is
going to be like?  It's a set that costs around $Y, so it should have around Z
pieces..." that they wouldn't be equally annoyed, and want that post removed
just as much?

Certainly this doesn't stop us from discussing things like the upcoming Star
Wars sets- after all, guessing which models were next has always been a staple
of lugnet.starwars, and now was can all just wink and nod at each other, but
discussing things like what might be included in some of the Movie Maker
expansions will be difficult to justify.

Oooh, dear.  I just realised that the list was the first mention of these
expansion packs, so I honestly don't know if this post now violates what TLC
would and wouldn't like to see posted.  I'll post it, though, mostly because
I'm too lazy to think of a non-specific example.

(...) Err, oops. That sentence makes no sense. I meant is, if I did that, TLC wouldn't care? If not, why not? The same info from the list could then just end up repackaged and still getting out there. eric (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.admin.general)
