Rocco,
I think you need to reread my original post. It was about the Castle line. I used
the color issue to point out that rumors of Castle demise were perfectly
understandable.
Reread, and chill out. It's not your thread, you don't own it, anyone can actually
post anything they want in it at long as it meets ToS. That's beside the point,
though, since my post was ON topic.
