Words of wisdom. Although I don't think that it is such a good thing to limit
the subject to a newsgroup (lugnet.color) because it is the MAIN subject for
many and it is an important enough topic to be in general, although I get the
point that it is flooding the newsgroups...
I don't think (or dont recall would be more correct) I insulted Jake per se. By
saying that I don't believe he did everything he could, I'm not insulting him.
I did, however, say many times that it was a stupid move. Maybe I said HE was
stupid also, I don't really care for a link to my actual previous posts from
readers, but I have nothing against Jake except for his role in the color
change.
Still, I'm upset about more that the color change. I'm upset about LEGO
attitude towards us and this issue. That is a more important problem for me and
the fact that this community doesn't seem to want to stand together on the issue
is dramatic to me.

| (...) I guess I was making an assumption about what you meant. When you said, "Jake may not be a 'winner' in this case, but you get the point," I thought it meant that you were implying he was a loser. (...) I'm actually halfway astounded that 99.9% (...)
