Even if Todd was being unreasonable (which he's not), that's fine, its his site!

I have a real problem with Lugnet being considered Todd and Suzanne's
exclusive sandbox -- in reality, it is and it isn't depending on what part
we are examining.  People contribute time, money, content, scans, etc. It
strikes me as a community effort in MANY ways.  It's a little too heavy in
attitude to just assert that we cannot support clones brands in some way in
the database and to provide no reasons for this posture.

Maybe I would feel differently if I knew the costs, or other efforts
involved.  From where I am sitting, Todd has all the structure, programming,
bandwidth, etc.  It looks like the costs come down to space on a server hard
drive somewhere and the scanned contributions that would comprise the content.

I don't want to hammer Todd, but perhaps something more than a terse
one-liner is required here by way of response.

So watch it, Baldy!

Well, just to throw in $.02 here, I'd be curious to see a clone database, and I might even use it from time to time. However, two things: A. If we view it as Todd & Suz's sandbox, it's their choice. B. If we see them as fulfilling our needs/wants in (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.db.scans)

(...) Before Todd wears yet another hammering, a quick note in support, feel free to hunt me instead. Contrary to the culture of entitlement popular in the US (you know, I'm owed stuff just 'cause I'm here, ne'er-do-wells protesting 'I have rights' (...)
