So I would dearly like for some converts to bley to show up at this session.
You have my word you will get fair and generous time to talk me into bley.

I too am limited to an online discussion of said topic...
At first I felt like you. Angry frustrated, and unsure how to move forward. But
once it was clear that there was no going back, I did two things:
1. I started buying any/all old colors I could from PaB, sets with high
percentages, and Bricklink.
2. I began to percieve them the same as I once viewed green or orange pieces,
and still feel about Teal, purple etc. ie, it’s a color that I have some of, and
can use on smaller models, but don’t yet have enough of to make larger models.
The 1x1 dk bley slope, and upcoming 1x1 lt. bley slope are the primary
motivation for this change in attitude. I have wanted that part since I was 11,
and don’t know how I lived all this time without it.
Finally, I would suggest to the die-hard nay-bley’ers this alternative:
If you WILL not use bley, and you really want the cool new parts only available
in bley, grab the old colors Pantone
number to a specialty paint store, get a custom color of spray paint in high
gloss made up to match the old colors, paint that part, and be done with it.
It’s a choice between accepting bley, painting bley, or whining about it for
years to come. ;)

| Yes, Bley Sucks. I know that, Jeremy Rear knows that. And a good number of the rest of you out there know that too (maybe even a majority). But unfortunately, it looks like bley is hear to stay. I'm stuck in my dark (bley) ages as a result. I can't (...) (18 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.color, FTX) !
