Tim, wouldn't you agree, that's a very odd request for them to make? (Not so
much the name part but the position part.)

So if I happened to casually mention this whole thing to a LEGO IP attorney
(in a meeting coming up in a couple of weeks), would they know what I was
talking about?
Can you tell us whether your contact suggested the text "Ask LEGO!" and/or
"LEGO wants to know..." or whether you came up with that on your own?
Can you tell us whether your contact gave any reason why LEGO isn't
conducting this survey or discussion off of their own site www.lego.com ?

I agree with Eric -- it's often difficult to take information as seriously
from a clandestine source as from a known source.

I hope Tim's contact is reading this and is reconsidering his/her desire to
be so secretive. It doesn't help credibility or PR.

I think that could help allay a lot of the confusion. (Either that or
"Unofficially Official." :-)

Me too. :)
