As a side note, from what I heard, HiTechnic had an overwhelming influx of

I suppose couldn't handle the amount of business.  It wasn't a lack of
support, in fact, it was too much.

I didn't know this, but they couldn't have been overpriced then.

I don't want to give the impression I thought HiTechnic stuff was
overpriced-in fact, they were far underpriced considering the effort and
care John put into them.   It was a matter of time required to put orders
together I think that made fulfilling all those orders impossible.  All I'm
saying is that HiTechnic isn't a good example of a third party product which
was starved for support, which I refuse to give just because they're
servicing the Lego community.

It's the latter example you gave, the Centreline Lego train track cleaner
which I have long stated is overpriced, which I dont' think we need to
pander to just because they drilled some holes larger to fit Lego trucks...

(...) No. (...) I didn't know this, but they couldn't have been overpriced then. (...) What I meant was to direct attention to the dichotomy between Lego built stuff and using (and therefore supporting) 3rd party stuff. Which of course we each deal (...)
