I would support a variation on this.  Each month, a Form Letter is posted on a
website specifying a parts pack.  Everyone who supports this would then

Maybe the month before, a poll would be taken as to what pack appears in the
form letter.  Any other suggestions?

He knows who I am (he's replied to several letters about bulk orders several years ago). I would probably also send a copy (...) (28 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I know others have mentioned that form letters aren't as effective as as personal letters, but how about a compromise - an online form that you could go to and select standard items you wanted to comment on (lack of slopes in all colors, same (...)
