No, actually, I think he is right on. This outcry is flat-out hysteria, as
we have seen here previously.

Rah, rah, ciss boom bah!
Just Imagine, Just Imagine!
Gooooo team!

You are going to have to keep up, Marc! The cheer is now “Play On” (as in
“move on”;-)

Arbitrarily changing a common color that has been around for TWENTY-FIVE
years (!) has another quality entirely, and an impact on every adult
builder out there.

I can only imagine the hysteria the 9 volt train introduction would have
caused were LUGNET around in 1991!

I guess all you train types will be happy when TLC switches train formats
again, right? “Woo hoo! Now my old stuff is incompatible - I’m glad for the
opportunity to start over from scratch!” Right. Maybe only if they invite you
to a summit first.

If they did, what should I do? Wring my fists and scream expletives? There are
no guarantees in life. I try and look on the bright and positive side of
life-- it’s more fun. FWIW-- I’d love nothing more than for TLC to overhaul the
Trains theme!

I guess people who can afford to make buildings out of Maersk Blue can afford
to be philosophical about the replacement of colors. Not all of us are so
lucky.

lol You think I’m rich? I, too, am not so lucky. But I am wise enough to know
that certain attitudes are more constuctive than others. If certain people
really cared about the color issue, then I would think that they’d consider a
more tactful approach when expressing their concerns. Instead, their rants come
off as hysterical white noise, to be placed in the circular file entitled “you
can’t please everyone all of the time”.
We are all able to be civil (I hope).
