Yes, it is.
There are conflicting opinions about this. I have heard that keeping things
together means the bricks deform slightly and get looser. I have some 1x2s I
put together in 1998 to store them that I just took apart and some of them
do in fact seem a little looser to me. But on the other hand I have some
models from that time period that seem to be fine.
Maybe it only happens to bricks that you STORE? Build all your bricks into
models and you'll be OK? GRIN.
I dunno.
Great question, though, I hope others speak up too.
