Matthew, when will you realize that the more you try to discourage people from

I personally believe that if it wasn't for people like you Lego CAD
technology and development would be 10 times as far along.  Instead
all the people like you sit around and grope each other about how

it could be made better.

rest in peace, he doesn't need you to idealize him as some sort of
demigod.

Humans need demigods.
