Anyone know if there is a list of retired Lego pieces out there?

There's probably no list, but you may guess and check Peeron then.

You'll see that:
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4262 (Technic Plate 1 x 6 with holes) =
dead 1997.
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4265b (Technic Bush 1/2 Type 2) = for
Technic dead 1997.
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4273 (Technic Connector Toggle Joint
Toothed) = dead 1997.
etc.

Some people think the addition of studless beams has been an improvement
that makes new building techniques possible.

I think that in this thread 100% people thinks that (including me, who
started the thread).

Others think it spells the end of the 1980's/90's pointy boxy Technic sets
that we all know and love.

That's me and about 30% of people here ;-) Today I got my 8880 Super
Car, that's simply wonderful set. Looooooots of studs ;-) 4x4 Offroader
has no appeal to me. Personal tastes, you may say.

I think that the people who object to the "new" beam type (that has been
around for at least 5 years now) on the grounds that it is going to force
them to learn how to build in new ways - well, they're missing the point of
Lego.

Replacement of Technic Bricks 1 x XX are relatively new:
1x2 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/43857 - from 2002
1x3 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32523 - from 2000
1x5 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32316 - from 2000
1x7 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/x150 - from 2001
1x9 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/120 - from 2001
1x11 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32525 - from 2001
1x15 - http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32278 - from 2000

Both types of beam should be able to peacefully coexist.
Agreed.
Agreed.
