Why *side* with either?

I'll do as I please.

As you should. I asked in order to try to understand, not challenge, your view.

Thanks. Helpful.

This is a big tent. Welcome all who come, whatever their reason, as long as

opens a set (that he purchased fair and square and thus should be able to do
what he pleases with his property).

(...) I'll do as I please. If you want an explanation, here it is: Anyone with enough money can collect LEGOs. There's no talent or creativity involved. There's no artistry, skill or vision either. Collection is consumption. Consumption doesn't earn (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
