(...) Steve, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your comment. (...) Nor this comment. Your point is lost on me. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit. Best regards, Allan B. (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I really don't think this comment is appropriate for this debate, Steve. Not to overly criticize, but Allan wanted to distance himself from the typical "fan of lego". I wanted to try to prove that he didn't come up with the title, but alas he (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 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)
