Fair weather? We are not talking about a sports team who lost one game and may
win tomorrow. The company is in crissis. Ignoring this is foolish. They have yet
to see or admit to the problem(s) at hand. TLC's stated goal for fisal year '05
was to break even. I stated at the time that any company setting a goal so low
was bound to fall short. They are well on their way to making this a reality as
they had a poor Christmas. (Mega Blok on the other hand did quite well)
As for "kicking when they are down" and "part of the problem..." The best way to
help Lego fail would be to ignore the problem and not let them know you are
disatified. -Ken
