I just read your posting on plum colored krieghoff - if you think thats being flamed, than hopefully you aren't on many other boards, because folks can really be jerks!
Seriously - I think folks telling you that it wasn't normal for kreighoffs to be off-color isn't flaming to me? (( but I didn't read everything)) As Krieghoff's (to my dismay) are always the super luger to get while my favorite is the red-headed step-child Simson....
