I'm afraid I don't quite agree.

I don't think this is marketing. This is exactly why we like TLC here: to
know about upcoming releases before they're all over the media.

Definitely no marketing. This is TLC giving an answer to questions/rumours
posted in the forum.
> http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=4328
Again, this is what we asked for. We wanted input, and TLC is announcing
they're going to give us some input. This is not marketing, but part of the
dialogue they're here for.

Yep, I think you're right there. Looking at these messages and the group
they're in I'd say 'announce' should be for the marketing messages like the
three you mentioned above (two of which were in 'direct') and 'direct'
should be for the direct dialogue with Lego. Which doesn't mean they should
be restricted to this newsgroup if they want to react/response.

And we're a smart enough bunch of adults to handle their marketing
techniques....
