I wondered about repeating the links, but the files are in publicly accessible
directories and the files are numbered consecutively. It is not like we are
cracking into a private directory. LEGO is being naive if they think no one is
going to look. However, since the Lugnet Admin. feels it is inappropriate to
repeat the links here, then I won't do it again.

PS Ever gone spelunking on my site? I had some wedding pictures (friend's
wedding) up there a while back. Is "spelunking" the internet lingo for digging
up files on web servers, or is it just a term that you like to use?
