And we also have a letter of support.
Some AFOLs think it's the worst decision LEGO has ever made, while others
support LEGO and their right to make decisions about their own products, even if
they disagree with them.

If opinions are weighted by building skill, I'd have to say LEGO has no choice
but to listen to AFOLs, because even a fairly decent AFOL can outbuild an
average kid.
However, I don't think LEGO looks at it that way.

In reality, I suspect this opinion carries as much weight as any.
It's a shame everyone must either be a whiner, or an @$$-kisser. Aren't there
any other options?
