David, what you're telling us with so many words is that you're happy with your
existing collection so that you actually don't have to care what TLG does or
does not. That's ok. Nothing wrong with being a happy AFOL dwelling in the past.

37 years of LEGO-happyness are fine, but life goes on. For others here, at
least. And the direction TLG has taken recently is a valid reason to be
concerned for everybody WHO CARES. Complaints about "broken promises" are indeed
misleading. However, your grandfather's LEGO-memories are appreciated, but I'd
rather debate facts. I mean facts like questionable marketing decisions.
