Larry and Todd were specifically referring to the Lego.com *website* in
those messages though. From the kids I used to do "Technic class" with, they
really loved the Lego website and visited it *a lot*. Between what kids and
adults want from a website is a much wider gulf than what kids and adults
want from sets.

I feel very strongly that:
Effectiveness is not the same as Quality.
Popularity does not equal Elegance.
Appreciating a fine wine for example, takes much experience and taste
development.
I thought The LEGO Company believed that "Only the Best is Good Enough."

Think they finally realised that having a the best product does not mean you
automatically get the best sales.
Marketing strength will be product quality every time.
