  Re: SciBrick is looking for you!
 
(...) Who are you? No seriously, who are you? When did someone say "I wonder what Jason Mantor has to say about this". How are you involved with this at all? For that matter, how am I involved with it? I suppose it's because of me being LEGO Pope (...) (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.scibrick)

  Re: SciBrick is looking for you!
 
Hello, I'm an AFOL who's been at least peripherally involved in the on-line LEGO community for a long time. Most of my bio on lugnet is accurate. I'm a 32 year old computer programmer, I'm married. My wife and I have a little boy who will be 2 years (...) (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.scibrick)

  Re: SciBrick is looking for you!
 
All, Keith makes several valid points, and I would like to expound upon them. I have been passively monitoring LUGNET for several years. I just finished reading this entire thread.
