Ups... I have to say a 'Sorry, ++Lar!' at this point.

Obviously I remembered this wrong. I am quite sure I read about your plusses
as a kind of sign for you being an expert. But in fact that might have been
someone else joking?

Again this might have been typed by someone else: but I remember vague it has
been mentioned in the april fools thread then.... My brain is to full with
Lego®-ideas - there is nearly no space left to have all ever written
lugnet.trains discussions memorized.

But while talking about my nickname do not forget to mention that I liked to
put bricks among them a young and healthy minifig soccer player into an
oven...
