This has all come as quite the surprise to me! As has been pointed out, TLC
must
have known about the LegOS name for quite a while!
Now I am getting slightly worried whether we (hitechnicstuff.com) might
come under
closer scrutiny since the middle of our name is technic. I had hoped that
people
would focus on the "hitech" bit, 'cos that's what the emphasis is on.
I guess we just have to wait and hope the spinning bottle doesn't end up
pointing in
our direction!
