Todd, I realize that this is your party and you shouldn't have to do
any crying.

But it seems to me that .reviews is a far more logical place to put
reviews -even of clones- than .off-topic.fun.

We discuss MB in .build and .general not in .off-topic.fun.

I doubt that .reviews will get deluged with clone reviews. Lego makes
probably as many sets as all the clones combined, and few here will
buy clones to be able to review them. For those few of us who from
time to time indulge in buying on the megacheap .reviews would be a
better place to read a few reviews once in a great while (there's not
alot of traffic here anyway) rather than to have to wade thru all the
stuff in .off-topic.fun.

That's my appeal. Of course, we'll abide by whatever ruling.
