First off Tim I apologize to Tim for my X-Files style conspiracy theories. I
actually originally replied to Alfred’s post to defend FBTB, but now as I
read my post it is clear that I focused more on my theories than on my
praise of your site. It is clear from your post here that I was greatly
mistaken in my perception that you were “in bed” with TLC.

I guess I kinda thought it was cool when FBTB shocked the world with an
exclusive post of set names, numbers, prices, or pictures; just to have TLC
force you to take them down. That is what I meant by non-conformist. I fully
understand and respect the manner in which you run your site. I really like
the new look and have always loved Greg's comics, I often forward them to my
non-Lego friends. FBTB remains the best single source for any and all
information relating to Star Wars and Harry Potter Lego sets (no disrespect
to Lugnet). Keep up the good work.
