Exactly!  I've been following this thread a bit, and I am rather surprised
at the hostility expressed towards Sanjay by one person in particular.  I
think this is unfortunate.  Like Tim said, we should be happy that a fellow
AFOL was given such an opportunity!  And, like John Neal said, any
frustration should be directed towards LEGO, not Sanjay.

Exactly.

- (flame suit on) - While LEGO is a wonderful toy, it is a TOY/hobby.  I
hope we won't forget that.

(I don my flame suit too) - It seems like the 'one person in particular'

actually is, we'd have Lego the way it used to be, a bulk parts service,
and so much more.

Good for you Sanjay!  You've handled this whole discussion with fairness and
class, even after some rather uncalled for comments.

Yes, I agree.  My minifig hat is off to you.
