Frankly, I didn't intend the post for you. It was for my friends here on
LUGNET, you know some of the ones who replied to you as well as others. I have
been active in the community for a little while now and only have a couple of
pictures on Brickshelf to show for my creativity. I wanted to let my friends
here know I am in the midst of planning my own LEGO web pages so I included a
simple picture on the home page to begin to stir up their curiosity.
I apologize that Todd has not added in lugnet.space.Jude's-friends but he has
been busy working on other projects.

The head was inspired by the TV show MASK many years back and I have kept
it 'alive' in my collection ever since I first saw the show on Global here in
Ottawa.

Matthew, can I ask you to please refrain from commenting on my site unless you
choose to submit your comments in a constructive manner. Personally, I did not
appreciate the manner in which you replied to my posting.
