So far, over half have answered “Never”.
If you believe that (and I’m not saying that you guys are wrong) then why all
the whining? I’m not going to call it “voicing your opinion” or “expressing
your concern”, it’s whining. If you don’t believe Lego will act on the
complaints at any time, then there isn’t a lot of point in voicing complaint.
It would seem to me to be best to either shup up and move on, or continue to
express your displeasure in the belief that at some point Lego will get a
clue.

Hi Bruce,
I’m not sure if the data you’ve collected can be easily interpreted in that way
without knowing which people have complained. It’s possible that those who
answered ‘never’ are the ones who are happy (or have settled for) the change.
It’s also possible that those who answered ‘never’ have complained but have
since given up hope based on the response they have received. I didn’t answer
‘never’ because I still have some hope that this will be turned around. But, I
don’t think any of us are in possession of enough facts to answer the question
with any authority, so it tends to look like wishful thinking on the one hand
and acquiescence or despair on the other.
More than the loss of colours, I’m saddened by the effect all this has had on
our community. I wish that we could all get back to building in the colours of
our choice.
Peace and possibility,
Professor Whateverly
