see is arguments FROM AFOLs, not one word from TLC.

Don't even try to say they haven't noticed it yet, or have been formulating an
answer for DAYS.  If you think that, you need to stop daydreaming so much ;-)

A lack of evidence is not evidence in itself.
One piece of evidence that we do have is that they would sack an employee for
doing what we have done. Doesn't that suggest that "it does matter" to you?

Why should TLC dignify this with a response? Obviously they don't wish
retailer catalogues to be shown to customers, we know that. What is there to
discuss??

What do you expect TLC to say on the matter. "Go ahead, we never really cared
anyway, we just went to all the trouble of making these secret and sacking
employees who make them publically available for the fun of it."?

I stand by my comment below! :)

Believe it or not, I'm taking the side of TLC here, and you guys aren't. At least in one way. "You guys" are basically assuming TLC is a bunch of clueless morons that haven't seen the furor over this, or have seen it, and are too clueless to know (...)

(...) It sort-of is. (...) We have no such evidence. (...) It's not obvious to me. (...) here you seem to be asserting that TLG has actually fired employees for this. Who? When? What are you talking about? I agree with Mike three notes down. Chris (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.general)
