I notice on the other thread that many people have signed, but either partially or strongly disagree. Do you plan on passing all of the comments to TLG? If not, then maybe another letter and petition needs to be sent from the people who don't want (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I disagree with most of this letter. Yes, it makes sorting harder. Yes, The Lego Group underestimated how upset some people would be (as I was!).

I do not support sending such a letter to the Lego senior management. They have enough to do trying to stay competitive in a very agressive market space. Their primary focus is their 90% consumer group - children - and they clearly have a plan to (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

Why are we still talking about this? From a corporate view, they are not going to change thousands upon thousands of dollars of material to satisfy a mere 15% (I think it was stated?) that are AFOLs.
