Larry (et. al), sorry to take so long to get back to this thread. I have
been in all day meetings.
Yes, that was exactly my point. I truly apologize for kicking off Standard
Rant #1 (Town Jr. discussion). I really would like to discuss this more in
depth, but will take the course I should have taken this morning and just
not bring up something that I know would kick off a juniorization discussion.
I also want to make sure that it is understood that I am two things:
- an AFOL
- an employee of LEGO Direct
When I post my own personal opinions, I do so as an AFOL. (Thus the
seperation of Jake and TLC footer)
When I post company news, updates, etc, I do so as an employee of LEGO
Direct. (Thus the official footer)
If my views happen to run in line with something that TLC has said before, I
ask that no one automatically assume that I am "hand selling the company
line". Please understand if I just drop this before we go any further,
despite being told to defend myself or else.
And thanks for helping me out in my absence Larry!
