(...) Much as I see your point, I think we should cut the LEGO guys some slack here - I don't think they'll be posting S@H offers to .loc groups, specially ones they don't pertain to. We've gotta assume they'll use their common sense when posting (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I think if they cross-post in that way, everyone will be screaming to restrict their access, not just us. So far, as an Aussie, my experience of the individuals at LD has been very positive. For example, they arranged for the BUGS to get lots (...) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I suppose in the end, that's what I was really after. Finding out what differnce LEGO posting meant, whether it was such a great thing and whether there was more in place, regulation wise than just common sense. In the end, the argument "We (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

I suspect LD will mostly want to post in the theme groups, e.g. announce the rerelease of the Barracuda in the pirates group, or the Sante Fe Super Chief in the train group. I can't see they would have a reason to post in the .loc groups unless it (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
