Is their absence especially irritating because they have used references to
Lugnet for certain marketing practices (like the Mania Magazine, I think it
was), and that probably without permission? So they trade on the Lugnet name
but don't actually participate -- is this part of your point?

You have dropped hints at either being or having been a contracted designer
for TLC in some way, is this the time for full disclosure? Perhaps I missed
it elsewhere. Are you "inside" or are you "outside" at this point?  How does
your status inform your views about TLC's level of participation and the
future of Lugnet in relation to TLC?  Do you feel that Lugnet is being
singled out for some kind of unfair treatment?  Do you feel constrained in
ways that others are not?  Do you think TLC has different standards for
nondisclosure (or do they merely enforce their rights unequally) on
different individuals or organizations depending on whether they can get a
positive marketing angle/spin out of it?

What do you expect from TLC or Lego Direct and why do you expect it?

I generally support your attitude here, I am just wondering if there are
unknown justifications for your attitude that might help others understand
what you are trying to accomplish.  I know nothing and am assuming nothing
about your possible answers to my questions.  I just get the idea that your
views are both more informed and complicated than the rest of us understand.
