Is anyone else finding this discussion a small pain in the "a postiori"?
You guys are now revolving in tighter circles than even Justice Scalia
normally attempts. AND arguing in TWO languages about the meaning of a
particular word (arguing in latin helps no one).
Sheeesh! Get over it...
For what little it may be worth, I agree with Scott inasmuch as Brad J. is of
no help on Lugnet if his primary function here will be to stifle expression of
ideas, knowledge, etc.
If I have a secret and I tell Larry my secret, and then Larry tells everyone
my secret even though I asked him not to -- who is to blame, me or Larry?
All this mumbo jumbo about the LAW and so forth is just sorta interesting
gyrating at best or silly posturing at worst. Lego does not have control of
its business -- if it did we'd have far less to complain about. I happen to
notice yesterday that they were screwing up EVEN the URLs on their own web
site (I think Todd or someone posted about it). These TLC clowns are just not
professional no matter what the company earns as a whole. AND I blame TLC for
all of it -- why worry about the bottom bits when all the significant lack of
control starts at the top? If they cannot control their own proprietary
information in the manner in which they would wish to do so, they cannot come
here and ask us to do it for them.
Todd acted reasonably for a person who essentially owns the information here.
If there was fear of a legal rumble over something Todd could easily just
remove from viewing and therefore quash the issue, then so be it. It becomes
David v. Goliath, and I don't see that Todd wants to slay Goliath or even
attempt it. Fine. So the offending posts were removed.
Don't like it? Take it to RTL -- it remains useful for some things, as Lugnet
itself cannot be all things to all Lego fans. And that's a fact too!

| (...) Some of us just want to know what _is_ acceptable here, so that we are not subject to arbitrary deletions. For example, if I post the URL of where I have 'the list' (hehehe, making it sound evil!), is that a violation of the LUGNET T&C? How (...)

| (...) Let's be clear here, are you asking for someone to mail you a description of the contents (which you've already seen if you've read the thread, but briefly, it's proprietary marketing and pricing information that is the property of TLC), or (...)
