Do you really want to know who's in the MDP? It's a very impressive mix of experience, and fresh blood. I suspect you'll hear more soon... Steve (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Ok, I'll be the first... I'm in. The message just went out a few minutes ago that we can tell people we're in the MDP. Unfortunately, that's all we can say. John (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You're certainly not alone, Alexander, but I don't think it's a purposeful thing. It appears that perhaps some (or all?) yahoo e-mail accounts and some (or all?) gmail accounts are not able to receive the e-mails from Lego for some reason. (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
