A new newsgroup/list lugnet.color has been created for the focused
discussion LEGO colors. Cross-posting is OK, within reason, but please
be careful to set the followup field to direct color discussions to
lugnet.color -- especially rants, complaints, kvetching, or general
negativity that ensues during a color-related discussion.
Please note: the idea here is -not- to put a stop to public complaints,
but rather to migrate them to a better home where color discussions can
have more breathing room, free from worry of intrusion into less specific
groups such as lugnet.general.
The idea for lugnet.color has been on the back burner for many years.
Recent discussion activity levels show that interest in discussing LEGO
color topics is wide enough to warrant a new group.
It would greatly appreciated by many if everyone could help -gently-
(read: helpfully, not scornfully) migrate current color discussions into
the new lugnet.color group.

Wow. LUGNET sure moves fast, provided the right people are
complaining.
This seems like a very unfair move designed to discourage the expression of
negative opinions about the color change, for the benefit of a few people who
want to ignore those opinions. I can see that when anyone voices any opinion on
the color change besides the apparently LUGNET-sanctioned “like it or lump it”
stance, the response will be “Go back to your ghetto - FUT to .color”.
This is the sort of thing I would expect from FBTB, but not from LUGNET. I am
very disappointed.
