First off if you look around some more you'll find there's a lot of people who
agree with me as to Lego's actions.
Second my view of the hobby isn't so ego-centric. Half the joy comes from
sharing the hobby especilly with those who have years and years to go before
they are eligible to become AFOL's. Lego has done far more damage there than
they have with the AFOL's. Yes there is enough Lego bricks (even true gray) to
last my life time there's more to it than that though.
Third I've tossed nothing about anyone's reputation. It's odd though that such a
simple question could stir up so much. -Ken
