(...) Say what? Do you really expect them to address the issue of new versus old grey specifically in an article about supply-chain management? Really? How is it a stretch to infer that? Perhaps if you read the whole article again instead of (...) (17 years ago, 22-Sep-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

Nice parking garage I prefer 'bley' myself, it's a nice refreshing change from the dirty-looking old gray. (17 years ago, 20-Sep-07, to lugnet.color, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
