Thanks Lar... a nice and respectable response. (...) It does... but, for the record I guess, I'm not frustrated in the sense that I go around all day consumed by BrickShelf's deterioration. I do admit I'm baffled by the situation, though, and I know (...) (22 years ago, 17-Dec-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

In other words, the fact that Kevin isn't responding to these threads (at the level you would prefer) does not imply that he does not care. Nor does it imply that he isn't doing (...)

(...) Personally, I think if BrickShelf became yet another pay-for-webhosting site, it wouldn't be what it is. People put their images on BrickShelf BECAUSE it's free, and because it's nicely unlimited (save moderation). If Kevin made it a pay site, (...)
