Give Brad a break-- he *is* the Senior VP of LD after all. That he even takes
the time to post here instead of having someone else do it is remarkable
enough...

Absolutely! Why would you suppose that they have decided to reissue
Metroliners, Guarded Inns, Cypress trees, and the like?? Directly from feedback
from AFOLs, here and in person.

Real communication in a forum such as this is clumsy and time-consuming at best.
That is why LD has invited selected AFOLs to go to NYC to meet with them *in
person* to provide feedback in a more conventional and effective manner-- test
market groups if you will. Brad has also shown up at events such as Brickfest to
engage in dialog as well.
So when Brad tosses out a question, you can be assured that he reads the
responses and the discussions carefully. The more completely we present our
cases here in this forum, the more feedback we offer, the more we express our
visions for TLC, the more LD will be able to produce products that we desire to
purchase.
As far as utilizing this forum more, IMO LD has done a great job of exploiting
this resource. And the resulting financial success of LD *will* make the TLC
sit up and take notice (as they have begun to already).
So take heart. I have a feeling we are in for some amazing things from LD in
the future:-)
