   (...) Swallowed what? Those *were* product plans... I just never figured out how Ben found out about them. (Remember the meeting last month? er, ah, I'm under NDA and so are you. Never mind. It was an April Fool's joke. Trust me.) ++Lar (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

To be correct, one has to say "no comment" to everything, yes OR no. And I (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Points (was: Re: How will Ben top last year? (summit talk?)) —Jonathan Wilson
     (...) Couldnt TLG go back to the less stiff points they used to use, i.e. undo whatever change they made? Wouldnt that help those wishing to mechanise their points? (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: How will Ben top last year? (summit talk?) —Santosh Bhat
