In my opinion this is the key point moreso then limiting where TLC employees
can post.  I can understand the limits.  I believe it was established so
that it could be determinied if a person was posting AS an employee of TLC
opposed to just posting their opinion as an AFOL.  I can see where it would
be important to make this distiction.

I think you're right. Besides, quite often when someone from TLC posts
something important, it's quickly forwarded to the appropriate groups (if
necessary) by Lugnet readers.

Isn't it against the rules to do so, though? Or is it just against the rules
for Jake to ask in his post that someone do it but OK if someone figures out
that it needs doing on their own? I'm admittedly confused about it.

It's also nice to know that all posts from TLC's employees (about "official"
business) are contained within that group. FBTB.net has a specific category
that allows you to see all posts from TLC employees.

I would, however, get rather tired of posting in a hurry if everytime I did
post, on any subject, i got hammered about stuff that is not relevant to the
post.  If every post is answered with "Why don't you offer more bulk yet" or
"Why doesn't SAH ship to <insert country> yet", I certainly would stop
posting in a hurry.

I agree that it may be tiring and it's also annoying, but being badgered by
these unnecessary questions just goes with the territory.

There really is no reason that it should "go with the territory"... FBTB
readers seem to understand that Jake can't comment on certain things and
don't badger him nearly as badly about those things. Shows a bit more
understanding of how the world actually works on their part, doesn't it?
