Well.
If nothing else, perhaps this will help get across to TLG the level of passion
that LEGO enthusiasts hold for their hobby. I think it's tough for some in the
company to truly understand that this is far more than just a hobby for a lot of
people (myself included). It's a passion, a lifestyle, an obsession. It goes
beyond mere plastic. It's helped build countless friendships and communities. I
know you get it, Jake, but I don't know how many other TLG staff do.[1]
It looks like we're more plentiful than TLG supposed. And more vocal.

[1] I work at a fairly successful printing company, whose products and services
are widely praised throughout a couple of vertical markets. Being inside and
seeing more of what's wrong than what's right, I often find it difficult to
comprehend how important these services and products are to many people. I've
got a feeling something like that is probably in effect here.

Probably true - being in the agency world for years and designing materials for
print and direct mail - I'll tell you the print vendors are greatly appreciated!
