Ok, this is really rough because my comprehension of gnuplot is fairly low, but I thought y'all might be interested in looking anyway. <URL:(URL) is a graph of number of posts per week to rec.toys.lego for as long back as Deja News can remember.

(...) For the most part, I have to agree with you. This should not be a place to ridicule others. However, I don't think that the people responding to your post were necessarily trying to ridicule you so much as trying to help you on how to post (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) It isn't a matter of being blown out of proportion, really. We're all here for fun, and Lego is a hobby for us (well, more like an obsession, maybe). Because it's a hobby, no one here is getting paid to be nice, or anything, and some people do (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

Woohoo! LEGO FOR LIFE!!!!! (...) Awwww..... that's not 'Lego for life! That's only 'Lego for three months'! :) Think if it were REALLY 'Lego for life', and any of US regular LUGNET-ers won, we'd put 'em out of business-- but on the plus side we'd (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

Another thing someone could do, but I'm not as upset about this as others so the someone is not me, is to actually sell the set in a Dutch auction...

(...) Juniorization is more than just over-reliance on SPUDs and POOPs. It's the dorky design, the missing doors, the lack of realistic details.

Apparently, this isn't new, but I don't remember seeing anything about it on LUGNET before. In the Parent's section at www.lego.com, there's a sweepstakes running from now until the end of April. The sweepstakes is only open to US residents. The (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.announce)

Maybe it sounds strange, but you could use the lubricant people use for their YoYos. As Yoyos are made of different kind of plastics (ok - there are also wooden and metal ones) , there should be no problems i.e.: Your cylinders will survive the (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
