I prefer to use the term 'Assembly' thread.
I can vividly recall how impressed I was when Great Planes first stared putting out kits...
compared to what 'we old guys' had 'way back when'
(you know, when we were walking to school, uphill, both ways )
even today's modern kits are head and shoulders above the 'old kits' in terms of walking you through each and every glue joint.
(which does get a bit tedious IMO)

completely agree though (NOT wanting to start a war)
people assemble arf's (aka screw the 4 parts together)

people BUILD kits.

(OMG I hope this doesn't turn into a 'more taste!' 'less filling' thread... )
