   I think if you replied with a statement documenting your extensive experience with MB products over the last two-three years it goes without saying that your reply would be taken as fraudulent by those of us with real experience with the product lines that MB offers, experience we have documented in this forum.

The last 2-3 years being the operative phrase there. Prior to that, well... read here. That said I agree that within the last 2-3 years Mega Bloks has improved significatly. On a scale of one to ten I would say Lego is a 9 and Mega Bloks is an 8 (Mega Bloks used to be a 4 IMO.) Obviously I buy them now, especially the Pro-Builder naval vessels. So I don’t know that the anti-clone sentiment is xenophobic just based on ignorance (which means the lack of knowledge and is not an insult) of the current higher quality.

(...) Gee, how can I put this politely...I guess I can't! But... You, Mark, are in a newsgroup called "off-topic.clone-brands." Whereas your considered opinions are encouraged, your flat out clone-bashing is not. Now, I'm not the boss of you -- but (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
