We can all keep ranting
about how we don’t like it or we can realize the decision has been made and
move on.

Actually, I’m not being that magnanamous. I don’t like the color change and if
ranting or anything else might get it reversed I will rant.
My point was rather that I can’t understand why people are questioning that
TLC’s reasons as given by Jake are anything but the true reasons. And I
certainly don’t approve of us giving Jake a harder time than we already do.
I have every reason to think that Jake’s unique position at TLC as an advocate
for the serious LEGO builder (I personally dislike the term AFOL) is as much due
to Jake working to get the company to create the position as to being selected
for the job. It’s not a matter of not “shooting the messenger” but more of not
shooting our best and only friend while he’s trying to help us.

| Hello! (...) You are right, this term is highly questionable. I like building with LEGO bricks and collecting LEGO sets. But I am not a "fan of LEGO" because - following TLC's corporate identity statement on www.lego.com - "it is not possible to (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general)
