Did you want responses by email or posting here? email is better. I will
do your survey if you will commit to sharing what you learned from TLG
and the paper itself once you finish. Information given for information
received.

As a teaser, I will tell you that I have some very strong and distinct
opinions about this set... it's the worst non juniorised set I've ever
seen, and I like castle a fair bit.
