You call them company secrets. Company secrets that are so
important that they're stored in catalogs that many retailers leave
on the shelf for customers to see. The thought that, 2 weeks before
these hit the shelves (or 2 months, or whatever) these are "company
secrets" just doesn't wash with me. What exactly about those little
Mickey Mouse sets is so secret that TLC might get mad at Huw for
having a pic on his site but won't (or hasn't for YEARS) taken
action against all these European retailers for having them on the
shelf? Please...

I don't either, to be honest. But it's used to justify some things,
just not this one silly thing that a couple of people got all hot
and bothered about.

OR, they may continue to be silent. Either way, I'm not too
concerned.

I'll accept that TLC gives a hoot about this when I hear them say
it. Until then, mainly what I've heard is a lot of crying on their
behalf, admittedly by good-intentioned people.
