SO this is the piece you were referring to, James:

LEGO publicized the fact that these sets are
intended for younger, less-experienced builders in their catalogs in >Europe, but not in the U.S. The lack of explanation
has turned off a number of long-time collectors to these sets, along >with their reduced piece counts (yet average or
high price per piece ratio) and simplified designs.

This is a bit ambiguous, and I read it to mean that TLG *publicized* and
explained the rationale in catalogs in Europe but not in the US, not
that the younger and less experienced builders were in Europe, not the
US <g>. I can see tha you might read it the other way, though. If Todd
is reading this, maybe he can say which he meant?
