Ian-

We all feel your pain; we all live with the frustration surrounding life as an
AFOL.  We are stupid; we are fiercely loyal, we keep coming back, and we won't
switch.  Be that as it may, I don't think an embarrassment campaign is the
answer.

Have you seen the letter so elequently composed by Gary Istok to TLG?  This
seems to me to be a much more sensible approach to getting TLG to change their
ways.  If we picket as you suggest, we will come off to the GP as a bunch of
*quacks* who play with kid toys and who have no lives.  Nevermind it's true (;),
but I don't see how revealing this will help any.

Biting the proverbial hand just seems to me in the long run as
counter-productive.  BTW, you lament the extinction of the castle theme.  Have
you heard the rumor that it is being revived?  Would that make it all better for
you?;-)

(...) That would help. Bulk ordering, and I mean true BULK ordering would make it better. Set a 10,000 piece minimum for all I care - we'll find a way to make it feasible for everyone. (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Very true, as I have said. I don't want to switch. No getting around this unless we are willing to switch brands. Most of us are not. So you are a LEGO enthusiasts? Mindstorms/Technic or something else? Out power comes from the simple fact (...) (25 years ago, 2-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
