Well, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I think that
legomodular could be claimed as deprecating a brand more than
LEGO(tm)-Modular could. Either way, it would seem very silly to have their
legal department crack down on a couple of their biggest[1] individual
customers.

[1] I would put Conan as #1, but I don't think I even fit into the top 10.
I think I sell as much as Frank Filz buys and I am sure there are bigger
fish than me, but I don't know how many that would be. Maybe I am a top
buyer, but I don't know. Just curious and not trying to fill some machismo
need.
