This will FUT ot.debate, but I wanted to start the question here. I'm in a discussion with a person whom I shall term, charitably, a knucklehead. Many of his views are ridiculous, and I can demonstrate their folly with citations and argument fairly (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Tim, Thanks for the heads-up. That's pretty strange. Both should work. Plus, I've gotten other emails, as recently as this morning. Let me try from an alternate address, we'll see if that works. Thanks again, Allan (20 years ago, 4-Oct-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) This seems silly to me. PAB is already a steal for the seller, wonder why they're being snarky with the rules. Most people fill it in loose, what's wrong with AFOLs stacking? We're just 5% of the market, remember? ;-) -Tim (20 years ago, 2-Oct-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.ca)

I just found several of the 5352 Duplu Tubs with 40 extra pieces at Toys R Us in Ottawa. I wasn't aware that these were available in Canada. Has anyone seen the 1000 piece Creator Tub (4679 I believe) with 500 bonus pieces anywhere in Canada? -D. (20 years ago, 1-Oct-04, to lugnet.loc.ca)
