Its funny,  they actually did fix one of the errors right away.  The picture

That error actually showed the wrong piece whereas the other errors we've
mentioned have been in color and nomenclature.  Although we would argue that
the low slope apex brick is the wrong brick, it can be used (in most cases) in
place of the medium slope brick.

Not really, for starters it can ruin the "uniform" look of a roof and
secondly, as Eric mentioned, with the absense of corner-peaks in low slopes,
one cannot make a 90 degree turn in the roof.

I wonder if they really thought we were talking about 1x4x3 thin walls when we
said train windows.  Did they really mean to give us a train window and got it
wrong?

Like Eric (again) - even as a non-avid train fan, I know exactly what train
windows are. So if they truly thought these are the train windows we asked
for - they obviously don't know what they're talking about, and
didn't "research" the matter enough.

The two pages with brick pictures were ASP pages.  Why?  Why not
simple html that could be cooked up in 10 minutes?  I suspect that we're
seeing part of a larger IIS/ASP site.  And that would make sense.

I don't know *why*, but before TLC put flash on their site, all their pages
were ASP. So it's not something new.

I doubt it.  I would guess the next catalog will reach the widest number of
people.  Then after that I would guess there will be some inserts in sets to
get the rest.

We're a particularly vocal segment.  I bet we were the beta testers.

That's an interesting theory...
