The irony in your behavior is quite amusing. You are really behaving
like a 5yo who has learned a new insult.

No, no, no! It clearly states in Profits 3:5:6 sub-para 54 that:
'There shall be blocks shaped in a medium size and they shall be of a
colour that is not anathema in my sight nor shall they be discoloured.
Yea, and the tiles shall be of magnolia in colour nor shall they be
cream nor yet white.'

Oh, no, I wasn't commenting on the correctness of the suggested design,
but rather on the procedure. The suggested design sounds ... well,
actually, not too bad. :)

After we move to Washington, I'll be in a place where it's legal to be
stoned. (though that's not really my thing).

No reason that you should.
I have worked with the Lowlanders quite a bit recently and it shows a
certain awareness to know who your co-workers monarch is. I would sell
our lot for a mess of pottage but not everyone is like that.
BTW Did you know that Belgium has a new king?

Yep.
The explanation I initially had been given was something along the lines
that people contribute to the discussion of the colour because they can -
they may not know anything about construction, building codes, etc - but
they can have an opinion on the colour, so they provide it so they're
"participating."

That makes sense, I guess.

Nope.
The only royal I'm somewhat interested in hearing news of is Theresa, the
Crown Princess of Lichtenstein. ;)
