Why should I be? I give them money. Since I have a choice on what I pay

I think what Greg might have been referring to is the disparaging remarks from
some other folks here (who aren't bothered by the color issue) who find it
necessary to characterize those who feel otherwise as "whiners" or
"complainers".

FWIW, the light gray change doesn't bother me so much as the dark gray.  If the
old dark gray had to change to remove the yellowish tint, then at least replace
it with a truly neutral dark gray, not this blue tinted gun metal version.  All
this talk of a crisper pallette sorta reminds me of the way Sony pumped up the
color saturation on many of their digicams because reality just wasn't good
enough...

I don't mind new colors in new sets.  But I do dislike what the changes mean for
reissues of old sets.  I was looking forward to reissues of sets like 6080 down
the line.  But even if that happens, it will look less like a light gray
building and more like a dark white one.
