The intent was for threads that started in other groups, but got heated

There was never an intent for this group to actually generate new
discussions, AFAIK.


The original intent of lugnet.lego.direct was to serve for polite,
swift and to the point discussions with LEGO Direct (or something
mostly to that effect).  I think that the group has evolved into
something completely different by now.


It is probably only natural for groups to evolve beyong their original
intention like this.
