OK, that was harsh, but that's what I come away with, without detracting from the agreement points we DID find here. Like (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Everyone that grew up with LEGO seems to go through that same stage of curmudgeon-ity, where they (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)

I think one contributing factor is that people who have not maintained familiarity with LEGO pieces over the (...) (13 years ago, 28-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
