10. (do not) Post or re-post a message excessively

12. (do not) Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion to a more
appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway here, since it is
natural for discussions to drift, and moving a discussion can sometimes be
inconvenient or difficult. If in doubt, appeal to common sense.)

Everything you've had to say, you've posted multiple times.  You're not buying
any Lego with the new grey.  You're not buying any more Lego, period.  Now

withdrawl, more power to you.  If you choose to augment that by ruining all
threads, you're screwing your peers out of the joy they get from seeing new
releases.

I *was* against the color change, and I considered reducing my spending.  I even
posted my feelings on the color changes.  Once.  And, in an appropriate thread.
But all the whining & crying has brought me around.  It just doesn't matter that
much.

You said "Goodbye, Lego" in your response to Jake's original announcement about
the color change being final.  Do us all a favor and say "Goodbye, Lugnet" too,
if you want ruin every thread.

I don't see this as ruining anything. I have read some very interesting posts with the direction this thread has gone. Some things have even given me perspective I had not previously considered. Why should you care, just don't read it! There are (...) (21 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego)

There is no such thing as a Legend, can't be a Legend if the colors are not the same as the original. Making minor changes, due to part availability, is one thing but changing the color of the parts is something completely different. I shudder to (...)
