Scott,
Showed more tact! I guess there is nothing wrong with your thinking what you
think. And there's nothing wrong with stating it in the right venue. And
there's nothing wrong with exploring that idea with others in a productive way.
But you did it all wrong.
It seemed to me that the folks in a smallish office of a large company got
together to do what they personally could to help the 911 recovery charities.
What is your beef with that? I work for a company much larger than LEGO and
the folks in my office made no concerted effort at all. But you're not
grousing about us. Why? The LEGO Direct folks raised many thousands of
dollars. I think the office I work in probably donated (as individual
donations) a few hundred. I think we're all looking at it that way and you
seemed like a real prick.
