Larry,
Just a question, why did you feel the need to editoralize your feelings
about Christmas in a LEGO trains newsgroup? Are you that paranoid about
how people think you see Christmas? As you can tell, I didn't think it was
appropriate here. Take it to the off-topic area next time.
I've always welcomed your comments about LEGO and you've always conducted
yourself well, but I thought this was uncalled for. Now, back to LEGO
trains...
