I DON'T agree with this letter...as far as grey/brown color changes are concerned.
To date, TLG has *yet* to give a *valid* reason for the change. Any reasons given
have been debunked as fluff or outright lies.
Give us the real reason ($$$), and maybe you'll gain a little trust back from those
that are tired of being lied to.
Note - I do agree with the rest of the letter. Just not the color change part.
