Bill, your words sound all to familiar for many of us AFOLs. I came out of the
dark ages in 1979, so I had a head start in getting all the good '70s and '80s sets
on clearance. We've all gone through that guilty feeling of perhaps being childish
or immature. Back when I started buying LEGO again it, there was no LUGNET or RTL
for me to find. Today folks coming out of their dark ages have the internet to
soothe their guilt. But when I was there, I did feel alone in the universe.
