This seems like an unnecessarily severe attitude to take.  I say we should
have both a Tyco and a Mega Bloks clones database link from at least the
off- topic clone-brands section of Lugnet.  If one is interested one can
find it; if one is not interested, one never has to see it!

I realize that Lugnet is owned by two persons, and is not a democracy -- but
I think that there are many Lugnet users that would be grateful to have
access to clone information when they need it.

I can contribute a handful of scanned instructions myself...

Does a consensus of Lugnet users in favor of creating such a clone database
matter at all in this decision, Todd?

(...) personally, I think there's no room for such a DB on lugnet. If you want to start up your own DB offsite, then perhaps Todd would put a link from off-topic.clones to your DB - but I don't think it should be on site. (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.db.scans)
