  Re: questions on current events
 
(...) This is probably true. But in a market in which the competition works well, I would say that that the federal interest rate _should_ affect the rate offered to the customers. In Norway, there are always some banks which lower their interest (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) I think you are reading much more into the label "AFOL" than most people. To me (and Frank, from what he says above) AFOL means no more than that you are an adult who enjoys LEGO as a hobby. I've never thought it might mean anything more until (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) You win. Label me a quitter, because I give up on this debate. (...) Which is exactly why I don't want to be lumped in with folks calling themselves AFOL's. I simply don't have enough in common with them to warrent using that term. (...) I'm (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) You called yourself "an adult who likes to build with LEGO". That's a label. Another label you claim for yourself is "Allan Bedford". I raise that one to point out that without labels, conversation would be impossible. (...) And those "labels" (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: "MOC" Blacksmith Shop on lego.com
 
(...) [snip] (...) I think we are/were a long way from that point. At least I hope we are/were ;-) (...) [Same here. I've left in the relevent bits I'm commenting on] (...) I'd invite you to have a look at the parts selection in Slave I. There are (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: "MOC" Blacksmith Shop on lego.com
 
We now return you to your regularly scheduled debate, already in progress. (...) Richie... I think we're getting somewhere. :) I'm sorry to come off sounding so verbally heavy-handed in my last post, but I really felt like our 'debate' was disolving (...)

(...) giddy (...) themself (...) God" (...) Well, that seems to be where we differ. I see AFOL as simply an acronymic (????) abbreviation of "adult fan of LEGO". Maybe it's acronyms you're not fond of? (...) Or four 8?) (...) So where's the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: If you're an AFOL and you know it raise your hand (WAS: Blacksmith Shop)
 
(...) I'm still missing your point I think. I don't recall labeling myself with anything. I did try to express a description to help folks understand me, but I really didn't define a label to attach to it. What label do you see that I've called (...)

(...) Testing, testing, 1... 2... 3, testing. I am not 100% certain that the words I'm typing on my computer are transmitting correctly to the LUGNET server. I'm almost certain I didn't ask "Who is God?" What I asked was, "Is someone who believes in (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) to (...) fan (...) You miss my point. I am not making a comment as to which best describes you, just that you've said you're not fond of labels, then promptly labelled youself. The answer to your question is obviously no, but "someone who (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
