I totally agree.
What I didn't agree with was the logic being used to suggest why these changes
were being made. I was trying to express my disbelief that changes were
happening because parts were getting too difficult to manufacture. If these
changes are, in fact, happening the likely reason is either cost/profit or
patent related.

Many changes over the years. Not at all unlike the Meccano system. The key
(for the company) is to make sure that each change is better than what it is
replacing. New hinge plates are an example of where they might have been better
off not making a change.

But to follow some of the other suggestions in this thread I should be giving up
LEGO bricks and building. Why? Well, I only have 1 1x3 pink brick. Time to
stop building, sell my collection and take up knitting. No offense to any
knitters in the audience, but this ain't happening. Quite the opposite, I'm
trying to figure out a use for that one pink 1x3 brick in a model someday. This
is a construction toy, not a coin collection that needs to be complete to be
interesting. :)
All the best,
Allan B.
