  Re: Your Resumes
 
(...) LOL! :) Really? I swore most of those people don't, or at least the blood is not getting up to the brain in a proper fashion.

(...) Or if you are a stuanch vegatarian activist then that might affect your chances of getting a job with macdonalds or KFC. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Your Resumes
 
(...) Sure it is. British Tobacco may not want you to work for them if you're an anti smoking activist. Or if your SO works for RJ Reynolds. Or if you jump out of airplanes, it may not be wise to put you on the critical path on a regular basis. (or (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: 2000 Catalog scans - TLC stance
 
(...) It was said as being common in Europe by a couple of folks, as well as being said to happen in a couple of US TRU's. I will say there's a store I shop in that makes it available to customers, if not for display. But they seem to have several (...)

  Re: 2000 Catalog scans - TLC stance
 
(...) This has been said a couple of times (that these are frequently displayed in stores), but in the various threads here, I've only seen 1 person state that 1 store has done this. I also have never personally seen one of these catalogues - and (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: What is a set, philosophically
 
(...) Hellooo LEGOnauts, I have to say that a set does consist of unique pieces and the common pieces that make up a model. These can come from any source, such as *the storage box* or the original package. The original box is not necessary for this (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: What is a set, philosophically
 
(...) For the newbies, and those who don't recall trivia well, this was in response to my posing a thought question. Dave's answer was well written, I agreed with it then, and still do. Very worth rereading if you're interested in the zen of sets. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: What is a set, philosophically
 
(...) In terms of collectability, I agree with you completely; I should have been more specific. Here's that aforementioned DejaNews link: (URL) Not to be taken too seriously! Dave! (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: What is a set, philosophically
 
I would say that the status of your having a set or not depends on the purpose of making the claim. For the ultimate in collectibility, every set must be in the condition it arrived at the retailers when first released. For the purposes of having (...)

(...) It comes from lawyers and politicians and owners of corporations. If they don't make a statement a subject, then they've neither blessed it or cursed it, and they have an open field to react to later developments. Steve (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: What is a set, philosophically
 
(...) About a year or so ago I wrote a pseudo-serious, long-winded post on RTL on this very subject (for the terminally curious, I'll try and find it on DejaNews). In essence, the "setness" of a set is contained in its unique pieces, such as the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: 2000 Dealer catalogue Removal Request Backfire?
 
(...) Agreed, so we're still waiting for the first slap? It probably isn't a perfect analogy, it wasn't meant to be - the original point was that silence isn't always evidence. (...)
