I received my September/October LEGO club magazine today and I am amazed at
how rude the replies are to the letters that children have written.
If children take the trouble to write they could at least be given a
courteous reply.

Two examples from the last two magazines:

Q Could you please give me a list of all the retired LEGO sets..?
A .. as you might know, retired LEGO sets go to Southern Europe, where the
sit on the beach....

They could at least have said the list is too long to print, or given a list
of past themes.
It would be too much for them to mention other web sites that give the
information.

Q How many kids are in the LEGO club?
A Well lets see... there's you... and me... and those people over there...

If the answer is confidential do not even bother to print the question.

Other questions are answered in a silly way but eventually give some
information.  A question on how LEGO is made gave a response that included
some SIM city type pictures of a factory.  This could have prompted a whole
article showing pictures of the production and packing process which
children would find fascinating.

Or maybe I'm just too old for the LEGO magazine.
