And you weren't interested in any of my posts that were not 'kissups to TLC' or
me stating that I wasn't in the 'anti-colourchange' camp. So we're both doing
it--where, in the end, does that get us? You can'tcry 'foul' on me when you're
doing exactly the same thing.

As will I. As long as we're both agreed on this. My contention, however, is
that if you want to make your point to TLC, do it in a polite respective manner.

As were some of my posts. Again, we do the same thing, so no harm, no foul :)

It was a general 'you' directed to folks who said that they weren't buying new
'bley' sets--I've seen numerous posts stating somehting like 'Purchases before
2004--$2000.00 +, Purchases after 2004-- $4.97" It wasn't directed specifically
at you, but to the generalized 'I hate bley' colour group, which is what this
thread is all about.

Again, it wasa general 'you'.

So we agree on somehting.
