Welcome Brad.  With LUGnet's policy of verifying e-mail addresses, and the
fact that you have a lego.com address, I'm going to assume that this
isn't some incredibly cruel hoax.

*drool*  Train windows, please.  Lots and lots of train windows.  And
doors.  And other bricks.  And... *ahem*

> What do you love?

Love: LEGO, the basic brick.  The Star Wars sets.  The older Train sets.
Trains in general.

> What do you hate?

Hate: pink bricks.  Juniorization.  The lack of train sets.  The lack of
support from LEGO for LEGO train enthusiasts.

> How can we help you?

Bestow some sort of official status on the train clubs that meet some
minimum criteria.
Put out sets of buildings so kids can build a proper town instead of a
roadside attraction.  Libraries, schools, offices, BUILDINGS.
Put out more train sets!
Make it possible to buy bricks and sets on-line direct from LEGO.
Make the lego website usable instead of a mass of overly clever web design
that works out to be low quality because too much effort is being put into
making it "kewl".

Yo, TODD!!!!  I hear an invitation!
