Here's my quick opinion: TLG has the right to do as they wish with their information, and that includes putting restrictions on how and when (and if) it is made available. TLG doesn't respect us much, if at all, as a corporation now. This whole brouhaha isn't going to help, no matter what the ultimate outcome. But it probably isn't going to hurt much, either, really, it's the fleas debating amongst themselves while the dog decides what to do without consulting them. Some hard feelings are being generated now and I'm not sure that's a good thing. Perhaps everyone should take stock and once they've made their point, stop talking about it. I see at least 50 messages in various places on this topic... is that the right level of discussion? Is anything being said that hasn't been said? Todd and Suz love TLG way more than TLG loves them or anyone else. Todd and Suz also collectively and individually love US more than most people, else why would they be doing this whole Lugnet bit? Todd and Suz also collectively have done some deeper thinking about intellectual property and rights than many of us have. Temper all that into your thinking. Let me see if that is the last thing I can say on this topic...

(...) True, but: 1. I have never seen nor has anyone ever produced anything in _writing_ that indicates that a Vendors catalog is confidential, or privileged information. 2. It is true that they hold them close and don't give them out to everyone. (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.general)

(...) You _knew_ when you wrote that that _someone_ was going to quote you out of context, didn't you? Jasper (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.general)

(...) By and large, what gives you the impression that they DO respect US? Maybe respect certain individuals who show up at functions and show them how amazing a resource we can be to them, but even then only respect from a random employee or two? (...)
