But I don't think I did a good job of explaining my point. I'm not saying that
AFOLs are not worth listening to. I'm saying that I don't understand the
original point about how TLC might be "using" the AFOL feedback to further goals
with other audiences (aside from implementing the AFOL feedback, which leads to
product enhancements for general audience products).
