(...) Well, welcome back! I live in Houston which is only about a 3 hour drive from Austin. I haven't a clue as to how many other AFOLs are in the area or even in Texas. Maybe we should do a "role call" to find out who is in the area and is (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx)

Instead, they're saying "LEGO", like all trademarks, is not a noun, it's an adjective. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx)
