All that is fine & well, but:
a) why can’t LUGNET perform that role?
b) I’m concerned about the Lego Group’s involvement; it is still not clear what
they expect for their ‘13 pieces of silver’? ;)
If Jake wants to capture the “hearts and minds” (1) of consumers, I’d suggest
the Lego Group starts by looking at its product lines and customer service.
I must admit to being cynical even about the Lego Group’s involvement with
LUGNET. After all, I’m not clear what this thread achieved:
