I agree here completely, as I'm sure most know. I've been here
since almost the beginning and Lugnet is something I hope will
continue to grow and fulfill even more of our AFOL needs and want.
Heck, I still want a Lugnet logo baseball cap and t-shirt.

I agree with this. I don't find it as "repulsive" as you probably
do, mainly because I'd like to think Huw wouldn't have reversed
himself if he didn't agree in some way with Todd and especially
Suz, since she's the one who has been most outspoken on this issue
(I know I wouldn't have).

Well, I agree with Larry that this was a decision Huw had to make,
although I also think that if the decision Huw wanted to make was to
do what lots of people wanted done, that's his business.
I also don't see this as an arguable issue, mainly because I don't
see this as a big deal. Maybe if the scans included all this
supposed "insider" information.
Then again, if I were inclined to freak out about these things
falling into the "wrong hands" I don't know if I'd make a
distinction between one lone consumer with a stack of them in a
closet or a webmaster posting scans of them on his site.

I understand what you're saying here....
