Oh, and another thing... nice tangent. Why not actually think about what was
written, the way Christopher did, and respond with a reasoned, well thought
out reply that shows that you aren't posting first and thinking later.
That is a bit harder than just dredging up factoids and quotes and taking
potshots though, isn't it? And you said (in your response to Dave Eaton's
DebateCard(tm)) you don't really have time to do a proper job debating. So I

Maybe you should take a page from Dan and go back to your other LEGO pursuits.
Go build some MOCs. Go take some pictures, go inventory some sets, go give
advice to clubs, go help the LDraw community, go share info about past LEGO
sets, go invent something, or SOMETHING.
Oh wait, you don't do any of those things, or at least not recently, do you?
THIS (and stirring up trouble elsewhere) is the sum total visible part of
your hobby. Well, everyone needs some sort of hobby and you clearly enjoy
causing trouble here.
