    Calling it Quits —Mark Sandlin
   After much consideration, I've decided to call it quits. Perhaps it's just old age, or maybe I'm just losing interest. Regardless, I've decided to sell off my collection. I really want to thank everyone for all their support. LEGO has brought me (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.announce) !!

         Re: Calling it Quits —Frank Filz
     (...) These stupid jokes are starting to get on my nerves. I'd also say that this topic is entirely off topic for this group. It isn't fun (if it wasn't a joke, it's not fun, if it is a joke, it's sick, it's definitely LEGO related and therefor off (...)

        Re: Calling it Quits —Tom Heverly
     I admit I dont really know you, but I'm pretty sure that 6 or 8 months from now, you will regret selling off your collection. Is there any way you can store it for a year, and then if you are still sure you want to get rid of it, you can surly sell (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

        Re: Calling it Quits —Daniel Crichton
     Sorry to see you go, your models have been a great inspiration. When you say "old age", what age are we talking about?
