Greetings and Happy Holidays to all!
  I have been watching the general chaos that has followed our Friend Brad's
announcement. While I honor everyone's choice to express thier own ideas, be
they ill informed emotional off balance Lego bashing, or more concise , to the
point, and actually constructive, I think we ( LUGNET community) could help
Brad( or whomever Lego Staff has given the dubious honor of reading our posts)
if we added some sub catagories to "Dear Lego". Brad pretty much named them in
his post. What do you like? what do you hate? what would you like to see? • what
irrational ranting would you like to spew ? ummm I added that one <grin>
Anyway, my point is this , Lego has reached out and said"we are listening". If
we can work out a way that what they are listening to has an order of some
type, rather than having to go thru all the 'Dear Lego" messages and sort
them,I think we Both( Lego and AFOL) could win here. I have seen a couple of
attempts to get this type of  flow going and it,s possible these sub groups
would help clarify our ideas.
What do ya think ?


I like your ideas and agree that it has been hard to sift through the
constructive conversation and the irrational rants lately.  My feeling is that
a lot of people came out of the wood work after Brad's initial post to vent
their frustrations.  I think that it is unfortunate that there has been a bit
of a negative vibe comming from dear-lego since Brad's appearance.

I think that overall this will die down in time esspecially once people see the
things that Brad's group is doing and that this is not just talk or is some
peoples think an elaborate hoax (which I do not).  I guess I have some other
Ideas for groups and they could go something like this.

lugnet.dear-lego.sets  (Set and Theme suggestions)
lugnet.dear-lego.bulk-ordering  (Bulk ordering suggestions)
lugnet.dear-lego.copyright  (Copyright policy)
lugnet.dear-lego.internet  (TLC's Web pressance suggestions)
lugnet.dear-lego.events    (TLC officially sponsored event suggestions)
lugnet.dear-lego.rant      (A place to rant about TLC in general)

I am sure there are probably 10 or 15 more I could think of off the top of my
head.  Maybe this is something Brad could actively help Todd with.  If there is
something Brad really wants to get our input on over a long period of time
(like Bulk Ordering suggestions) then maybe he could give Todd some suggestions
for groups that help him to sort and compartmentalize our suggestions.

I know for one I hope that the discussions become more constructive.  This is
one reason I have avoided some of the discussions recently because they just
seem petty to me.  (I know they arn't petty to those taking part but that is
just my point of view).
