I'd rather it was tipped towards us. Lego is posting here to make money out
of us, and lets not forget it. BJ would be deluded if he was to rely solely
on the responses of this post to gauge how well LD is going to work. There
are far better ways of collected data on this. If I was cynical (I'm not
today), I could argue that his posts are nothing more than marketing at
minimal cost.
