Hi, get me right: Jake tries his best - I know, but I cannot imagine he is really believing what he is writing. Then he could not be an AFOL. For him it must be frustrating. So this was my intention to give him the hint to look for a new job. No one (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

I don't believe your ranting is serving any useful purpose. I personally think that Jake is doing everything he can to help. That's a [hard] thing to do.
