A few days ago I posted an article extol;ling the virtues of a new computer product just made available by LEGO Dacta. Someone found this article too commercial for USNET and so I am hereby retracting it and apologizing for posting it. I will never share such information on USNET again!! Ron Revere

Ron Revere I'm sorry to hear this, I found the information very useful. I have been looking for a place I could contact about LEGO LOGO and their products for quite awhile. Posting this information was not for personal profit to you, so I don't see how anyone could flame you for it. This is suppose to be a free information society. I fear this is the start of a larger problem we will face in the future. -pk ----------

Whoever is pestering you is off-base and probably just doesn't have anything better to do than waste net bandwidth. ------------------------------- Robert Dominy NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Don't let one self-appointed, over-zealous net.cop discourage you. The information was useful and not posted for personal profit. That puts it well within net guidelines. I hope the original poster sees this.

Ron Revere I find this very dissapointing. I have a four year old son who is absolutely fascinated with robots (and other automated machines) and not just because that's what his old man does for a living. He is getting to the age where we can start doing creative projects rather than just buying off-the-shelf type toys. I was very glad to find out about the existance of this LEGO product since it fits the bill for what I (unknowingly) had been looking for. I'm sorry you got flamed, Ron. If you run into this sort of product anywhere else, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. Direct e-mail might be safer :-) - Jack ============================================================================= ||Jack Hagerty, Robotic Midwives, Ltd. jack@rml.UUCP (smart mailers)|| ||Livermore, CA ...!uunet!lll-winken!rml!jack (dumb mailers)|| ||(415) 455-1143 jack%rml@lll-winken.llnl.gov (desperate mailers)|| ||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|| ||The problem with doing nothing is you never know when you're done - Grimm|| =============================================================================

When I saw the message on LEGO dacta I made a special note of it, and called the next day for information. I received it today just before reading my net mail and was pleased to learn of this resource (even if I decide not to take advantage of it). I believe finding out about what products are available is one of the more useful things I learn reading net mail. Don't let this one negative comment deter further postings of this kind.
