  Re: What's actually the task of the moderators on BrickShelf?
 
Hello! (...) That's an optimistic view on people's behaviour. I wished I was that optimistic (no sarcasm intended). However, everybody including me should always be aware of what impression one's particular behaviour, fashion or whatever makes on (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
