To the fellow Bricksters,
I've read on the internet that V.... N.A. Has started to inform all V....
woth that internet address or name to stop using it because it's trademark
name! I've not heard the whole story behind this matter but, only rather bits of information on this subject.
If anyone out there has futer info. on this subject, please e-mail me.

Thanks for the tip. This is why this the BrickBoard and not the
VolvoBoard. They go on these rampages now and then. At one point people
with Volvo web pages were being trampled by these thigs.
Why would they stomp on people supporting them and advertising for them? Don't we do this because we are enthusiasts? It's ridiculous. What other car manufacturer has this going on to this degree? We could petition them if they fuck anyone over. Anyone got stories?
The problem, I would guess, is that corporations let asshole lawyers (the asshole is often silent) act as the public face. It seems Volvo has the same disease Apple had in the mid eighties. Somehow they overcame it and now we have MacZone, MacOrchard, MacTemps, and so forth.
Also, I killed the two female anatomy messages not because I lack a sense of humor but because I am dealing with file number problems right now. I have enough disk quota space but I have too many files! This is also why I am finally getting around to cleaning up the archives. Please don't be offended if you have your message wiped out. I want everyone to re-read the FAQ. There are too many uninformative me too messages. Send these to the persons e-mail address.
