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...

Steve Berry
