Why? That defeats the purpose of having LEGO for me!

Yes I do realize that, and I thank the TLC for allowing such databases
to remain accessible to the public.

So we are supposed to fall over like little "yes men"? If we don't
like something shut up and sit quietly in a corner? Where's the good
in that? How is ignoring and keeping silent supposed to help them
improve things? How will they know what we like and DISlike if we
cannot tell them? My take on Brad's appearance here is that they WANT
feedback, feedback is not ALWAYS the "good", they need the bad and the
ugly also or they are working in an vacuum! My feeling is that some
of their current problems are the result of being in a vacuum already,
at least somewhat. If you don't like hearing this stuff DON"T READ
IT! That is certainly an option that's available to you, me, I'm
going to post my criticisms if I want, that's part of what this is
here for IMHO.
