   Dredging up an old thread (...) I think this is a semantic difference, "shoppers" vs. "market". L A chooses not to serve the A market the way that you would prefer, for whatever reason.

     (...) We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Perhaps my sample set differs from yours, however, for whatever reasons. (...) No, but that's not what I said either.

        Re: Assistance from LEGO to local groups (was Re: S@H catalogue) —Allister McLaren
   (...) The pertinent question here is: What kind of work would we like LA to do with adult fans?
