As for your argument about flourescent lights at stores, I also disagree.
Other than very poorly lit displays at TRU, I have not seen an actual brick
or even untouched photo of LEGO on their packaging in 3 years. Exo-Force
doesn’t even show the lines between bricks. I would hazard a guess that NO

has is irrelevant to the buying decision.

It’s fine for you to express your preference for colors. That’s your right.
But becareful making dramatic claims to support that preference, or I’ll
start making up reasons why chocolate tastes bad and fuzzy kittens are ugly.

Having eaten carob, and known some very temperamental cats in my day, I could
probably pose a fairly convincing argument myself.

Excecpt that you lost it with that sentence.
Cheers, and thanks for the funniest thread to hit lugnet in ages.
