You're absolutely right. I don't think they listen. But I do think they
read some of the postings to LUGNET. Remember, there's a difference between
hearing and listening. I intend to keep talking until they *listen*. Do
you know a better way to get in touch with them?
I'm not asking anyone to agree with me. This is my own opinion of how to
best reach out to them.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was attempting to use hyperbole to
slam home my point. For some reason every point I try to make in this
thread gets misunderstood.

Yes, and Virgin is run by a dynamic and exciting businessman who understands
the business world, but is also willing to think outside the box. Perhaps
he should come over and run LEGO for a while. I gurantee things would improve.
