Dear Simon,
there is nothing you have to apologize for! I think this was a minor harm of my
copyright and you have obviously nothing to do with the publishing of the
picture. I have no problem with this newsarticle, but as reported some month
before I have had some troble with ebay sellers, who abused my pictures for
their auctions. (If you believed them, they sold my stuff! But that was a
totally different story....)
In fact it is cool that my structures seem to be such a good example for
the use of Lego technic beams. You know I'm a train head and it's fine for me
to get back into technic for this time.
Kind Regards,
Ben
