(...) Richie, I don't know why you would assign an arbitrary and incorrect timeline to events which you did not personally witness. Enter LEGO Retail, ask sales associate which current Technic sets include "classic studded Technic beams." Clerk (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the timeline. I'd assumed that the events you'd included in your post occured in the order that you'd given them and didn't allow for full sequence of events. (...) The tone? I repeated two comments you'd made, questioning them (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) For smaller length Technic bricks I have found Star Wars sets to be pretty useful, with the added benefit that they often contain many other useful bricks as well. Even Harry Potter sets seem to use quite a few. ROSCO FUT: .dear-lego (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) Yes, I notice that you snipped my original statement, which apparently I need to parse for your benefit: "On a recent trip to my local LEGO Retail store, I asked the employees if there were any sets with studded Technic beams, and they didn’t (...)

(...) Chris, not wanting to sound rude, but did you open the front flap to find the parts list right there on the box before you decided to pay good money for it? Assuming you did, you obviously still felt the set was worth the price you paid, even (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX) !

(...) Indeed they are, but the answer as I see it has been touched upon many times before - the LEGO system is constantly changing. It has always been changing, I don't see many sets with (URL) these> or (URL) these> in them any more. (...) Again, (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) I understand the word "enthusiasm" fits very nicely here, but what does "professionalism" as "a fan" means really?
