I actually think L-Draw is in the wrong here. They use the 'MOTM' meaning
Model of the Month..we all know that. My case is, Lego is used to create
'Models'.. L-Draw is a cad, graphics system, which in my eys does not create
lego models at all.

You can argue the word 'model' also has a computer graphics relationship,
but when talking about Lego, model has one meaning: a physical structure
made of lego.

I think L-Draw should change the name of their contest to something like
'VMOTM' Virtual Model of the Month, and the Lego community should encourage
more themed MOTM's.

The phrase Model of the Month or MOTM has no relation to what the L-Draw
system does. When you here MOTM.. you dont naturally think its means the
model is created within a software application.

Just my opinions,
Brian

I _will_ change the name despite (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
