Jeff: You make statements like this because you like to think that you know something from the "inside." But you don't, and neither do I. Give it up. All I know is that making molds to make bricks is status quo part of the business TLC is in. If you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.general)
