It *IS* tipped towards us. LD can serve us the most by reading the best
suggestions in lugnet.lego.direct. We serve ourselves by making it easier for
LD to spot the good suggestions from the fluff.

I wouldn't be suprised if marketing wasn't a strong reason for setting up LD -
it stops a large vocal group complaining about the company they love, it
increases the level of service to the average customer (the standard toy
company doesn't go to these lengths to satisfy its customers). Above all
though, think of the amazing scupltures and creations are going to result
because of the ability to get the bits you need in the numbers you require!!
But isn't cheap - setting up a new division, altering production runs,
reorganising internal infrastructure.. to name just a few costs.
