You do not represent me! I deeply resent the wording "We, the signatories of this letter, form the group of Adult Fans Of LEGO® (AFOLs)." You and your undersigned do NOT form any such group! You form a small, but regrettably vocal MINORITY of the (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

I DO NOT support or agree with the above letter. I DO support the notion that you are in fact a big wank. Iain Hendry (23), Toronto (Ontario, Canada), ~$500 pre-'04, ~$500 post-'04. I think LEGO is fun! (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego) !!

I saw this in the spotlight sidebar, and saw lots of replies to it, so I read it. It only said "no discussions here (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

We really should not start complaining about color threads getting hijacked. ...Or, it may be interesting to look back over the last year, and see just how many threads turned into debates of color.

(...) I think the estimate is about 5% of sales are due to AFOL consumption, and far fewer than 5% of Lego customers are AFOL's, since AFOL's spend a disproportionate amount on Lego compared to the average consumer. So, if 100% of all AFOLs stopped (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)

This letter is offensive in that it attempts to usurp the label AFOL and turn it into a special interest group with a particular agenda. Not all AFOL's agree with the postitions taken and by implying they do this letter is deceitful. If I wrote a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

There would have to be some pretty big undisclosed reasons for me to vote yes. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego)
