it's as clear as crystal that the average consumer has got much more on
their mind than proper pronounciation of trademarks.

Does this all sound a bit angry?  My apologies.  It's just that I've been to

between consumers and fans when it comes to this issue.  TLG really needs to
give this up or find a way to use it to their advantage.
