Not so much to deter me from being happy with it or buying the (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

Hi Kevin, I like your direct style! Yes I am an adult, and I'm mature. But no longer a fan of LEGO. It was not my intention to annoy any AFOL! Sorry, if this was a result of my postings!

For me basic bricks, plates, and slopes are a must in real grey, dark grey, and brown. BURPS and 48x48 baseplates make excellent candidates as well. I have no suggestions for the new colors as I don't have and will not use any of them. Thanks for (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)
