A couple of thoughts here: 1. I have no side in this argument. I understand the business practices of the manager. I disagree with them. As I said, I wouldn't be able to convince you if I was God, anyway. Therefore I will let you have the false (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I will... (...) But why should the "system" *not* reward the "more spend happy customers"? Larry spends a whole lot of money at the Outlet. The manager of the outlet has a job: sell LEGO. He is able to do this job *and* do a favor for a good (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

(...) Well, not sure which Mike you're talking about, but I personally wasn't called. I personally would like to have gotten some more 6078's. But I personally don't mind that someone else got the call before or instead of me. The only thing I (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

While I expect that in a discussion of this length no one will read this, here goes: I see two sides to this argument. One, Larry and whoever else wants to keep there arrangement intact, ensuring the greatest satisfaction. The other side, including (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) If you're talking about the first time around for these sets in the GA store (as opposed to the 2nd time round, or the stock that the VA store had), I would say there was not an unreasonable distribution of them. By the time I called to order (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) This is one argument I am not getting involved in. Way too many "ad hominem" attacks against the person. But I will say (in an off handed compliment) that Larry is much nicer in person than in print. :-) I don't think you folks are going to (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

(...) When the facts about how reality works are running against you, and you don't want to admit it, go with ad hominem, eh? As I pointed out in .debate, (1)(2) you're in good company.
