Marc,

I'm getting bored now.

You're bored? I have to listen to the endless drumbeat of "like it or lump
it", "you should feel lucky LEGO sells us anything" talk.

Why is that that whenever someone isn't actively attacking LEGO and deriding
everything they do, they get accused of being some kind of cheerleading,
banner-waving drone?

It really gets under my skin sometimes.  Someone out there bitches about
something LEGO is doing, or not doing, and everyone and their dog chimes in.
"Yeah, that stinks."  "LEGO is clueless"  "LEGO is evil and hates their
customers" blah blah blah.

Someone else comes in and says "maybe they're doing that because X", and
everyone jumps on them for being a TLC apologist, and beating the drum, and
all that crap.  (Yes, that is a skewed viewpoint, and not entirely accurate,
but it sure as **** feels like it sometimes.)

A company not satisfying its customers is doing something wrong. (...) This is a great case in point. (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
