Hi,

get me right:
Jake tries his best - I know, but I cannot imagine he is really believing
what he is writing. Then he could not be an AFOL.
For him it must be frustrating. So this was my intention to give him the
hint to look for a new job. No one could bare this load.

Normally I write nice and calm postings, but this evening I understood that
my hobby just end in these days.
This makes me crazy. And it really annoys me - let say hurts me deeply. It's
too late now for constructive criticism.

Then there is a cultural difference. Germans tell what they think. Americans
are always nice. Germans are straight ahead.
If you could read german, then read the the today 1000steine postinga. The
air is hot there!

At the weekend I will bring my bricks up to the loft...

Dirk

Jake,

please, please shut up! Do you believe what you are writing?
We don`t need your way of community development.
I give you a good hint: Look for another job!

We don`t trust in any word from you nor TLC. Tomorrow white will die, then
red, then....

TLC really sucks! German AFOLs are very annoyed!

You are now loosing your most loyal fans.

Many people have asked what colors are currently considered "universal" • or
locked. This means that these colors will almost certainly never be • changed.
Universal colors are colors that we consider to be untouchable for • change.

While the final list of extended "locked" colors has not been finalized • yet, at
minimum, the universal colors will include:

- red
- green
- blue
- yellow
- white
- black
- new light gray
- new dark gray
- new brown

This list will grow from what I understand, as decisions are made • internally in
the next couple of weeks about what colors do should be added to this • list.

But for sure, the colors above are locked, and considered universal. • They're
here for the very long term. Like a good club, once you're on the list, • you're
on the list.

(...) It's unfortunate that you are unable to adapt your hobby to these changes. I've been eyeing some of my mocs that I actually want to change over to the new colors to improve them.
