I guess not...I had just thought that you may have some inside sources
of which I wasn't aware.

I understand. It seems a shame that someone at TLC isn't paying closer
attention to this, though.

I can't find the post right now, but I seem to recall LEGO Direct making
a big deal out of supporting clubs and the community that was evolving
both here
and on LUGNET.

Well, to us. Even though there are a lot of us, like myself, who don't
know you and Todd personally, we feel as if we do because of the
community prescence that you have created here on LUGNET. Obviously
some people at LEGO have taken notice and interest in LUGNET as well. I
thought the Lego company (TLC or LL or LD) would be very enthusiastic
about hosting the wedding of the two people responsible for the
flourishing of a fan-base that centers around their product.
Anyway, I'm sure you have more important things to think about now
anyway. I
wish you well in your preparation for the wedding and I am sure it will
be a fantastic event even it is held in Playmobil's theme park :)
