Not an objection, just a suggestion... Until now, lugnet.dear-lego has been used as (to quote someone else) essentially a "Dear Santa" group. No doubt there will still be times that somone wants to say (scream, whine, throw) something at TLC without really expecting a response, or feeling that it really needs the attention of someone at Lego Direct. If the charter of lugnet.dear-lego changes to being the channel in which people are trying to communicate directly with Lego, then they're deprived of a place to do it (which is not, of course, to say that Brad et al. won't *read* lugnet.dear-lego, just that people posting there aren't *necessarily* expecting a response or to be taken 100% seriously). If a new hierarchy is created, however, it leaves us with lugnet.dear-lego for the purposes of railing away at the heavens or babbling about things we don't expect to really see ("...but a James Bond theme would be so cool!") without having to burden the good folks at Lego Direct with it. And on top of that, it gives a fresh start to a new group where (semi-)serious communication with Lego can begin. Like I said, not an objection, just some points for consideration. eric

(...) Let's make a lugnet.rant group, then, for people who feel like ranting at nobody in particular. I think lugnet.dear-lego is just too perfect to pass up as a channel to LEGO direct. -Laura's 2 cents (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Brad and colleagues at LEGO Direct: Wow! 8^) Not sure where to begin...
