Except that we know that they want certain information - like what pieces are
most popular, because they are starting up a bulk-ordering service.

A Pirates part pack would be a very good idea, but as lugnet.lego.direct
*isn't* talking about releasing parts packs, it's a very useless idea in that
group.
The same suggestion in lugnet.dear-lego, would be both a good idea, and a
useful post for that group.

If LD say that they want suggestions on part-packs.. or what sets to resurrect,
then you'll see a consequential increase in the scores for such posts.

The point of rating messages in lugnet.lego.direct is to help LD by making it
easier to see posts which reflect the agenda that LD have set.

If this is true, then it's a problem - do you feel comfortable giving examples?
Maybe if there was a trusted neutral third party who could anonymously voice
the concerns of those who don't feel comfortable speaking up?
