Matt, I don't think you've ticked anyone off, particularly. You're just the
latest in a long series of victims of "internetitis". There are several
common discussions that will crop up around here, and this is one of them;
you aren't the first to complain bitterly about how Lego does things, or to
be convinced that you know far better than they what their market is. I've
done it; Tim's done it - darn near all of us have at some point or another.
Heck, Richard Marchetti makes a career out of it. ;p (just kidding, hop.)
In a discussion forum like this, or a chat forum, or nearly any of the
various net-based communications, these kinds of discussion crop up
regularly, and it gets awfully hard to tell this particular gripe and this
particular griper from the one 3 months ago, or 6 months ago, or 2 years ago.
You're getting the brunt of people's frustration with the repetative
argument; people aren't actually frustrated by *you*, just the circumstance.
Stick around a year or so; it's surprising how quickly you find yourself on
the "oh man, not this again" side of the discussion. :)
thanks,
James
