Wasnt meant to be confrontational, just an observation on the difficulties of
trying to put the wraps on something one it has escaped onto the Internet.
Trying to remove the pictures and the messages is difficult once they are in
everyones caches and newsreaders. Right or wrong, drawing attention to
their 'illegality' (Suzannes word not mine), is bound to make them much more
wanted than before, and sure to drive other folks to make them available 'just
for the hell of it'.

I meant the same generic channel, i.e. lugnet, not a specific lugnet group, as
opposed to say rec.toys.lego

Wasnt griping, just suspect that most people who put effort into their web
sites like to see the resulting traffic whether for commercial reasons or not.

Sorry if it sounded petty, as I say was just pointing out the difficulties.
Just chatting away, like one might around a beer in the pub, thats what
newsgroups in part are for arent they?
Didnt mean to upset anyone
