a) it's rtlToronto, a local sub group that specifically caters to the greater
toronto and Southern Ontario area, in which we're all friends and hang out and
shoot the breeze and have the 'worlds best robot competitions' and the like, but
we also know that there are many many lurkers who read our little NG, and enjoy
doing so (well, they must 'cause they keep coming back!)...
b) wasn't posted in .general for *all* to read and if Calum wants to go on a
little tirade in a little NG where 99 percent of lugnetters fear to tread...
c) it's rtlToronto--give yer head a shake!

I took out my grey pieces I have today and just dumped them on the ground--the
colour variance is extraordinary. You have no basis for yippage about LEGO
changing their colours--the bricks have been doing that for years--get over it.

Clearly your grasp of local newsgroups is wowness at its best.
