You pride yourself of such small progress made in all those years, yet so
much more could have been done. Sure, you’re friendly and people like that,
me too, you’re a good person from the little I can say, that’s probably why
so many AFOLs will defend you, but being nice just doesn’t cut it. Nothing
personnal, although judging by you precedent post, you will probably think I
hate you, yourself and you. I just think a real AFOL would be better suited
for the job. (And before anyone asks, no, I don’t propose “I” would be a good
choice.)

Terry doesn’t speak for me. After reading the newsgroups here at LUGNET, and
attending BF, as well as checking out other websites/venues regarding our chosen
hobby, and partaking in many discussions about LEGO, TLC and out chosen
hobby--sometimes “Jake” comes up in the course of conversation and I can
personally attest that Terry doesn’t speak for a great many AFOLs either.
Jake, from me, and for many people who feel as I do, keep up the excellent work.
Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of the greater LEGO community. I’ve
met with you, and your enthusiasm for “the brick”, as well as your appreciation
for the AFOL community in general, is quite apparent.
Every once in a while, quite the opposite of Terry’s sentiments, I get the
feeling that it is we, as the AFOL community, who should ask you what we can do
for you (not that I’m thinking of JFK right now)--That’s more than likely the
‘overgrown boyscout’ in me, but I do feel that way sometimes. Then I hang out
with rtl a bit, and that feeling gets beaten out of me. ;)
I know you get paid for it, Jake, but thanks for what you do.
Take care,
Dave K
