James, thanks.
Ya know, I usually don't get cheesed off by posters, but this really takes the
cake! I wasn't attempting to rub anyones noses in anything (in fact Larry thinks
he's the lucky one, since I do have one of the rarest Lego collections this side
of the Atlantic). It just happens that Larry has had his name dragged thru the
mud a lot lately (partly his fault I'm sure). And I was merely attempting to
portray him as a nice guy! Which he really is. Just a little intense at times,
that's all. I'm not trying to thumb my nose at anyone. Gaw'd first Larry goes
from being the LEGO antichrist to ..... "how come you're the lucky one that gets
to play with Lar".
Hey Lar, I guess you were more popular than you thought!
There I'm calm now....
