		Re: Train doors and windows
If something comes of this, probably makes sense to consolidate all the orders/requests/wishes into one. Either we do it independently or Christer does. Since I communicated with him offline about a much larger (3 orders of magnitude) request, I (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: New web site!
(...) Right. Homestead may be great for making certain kinds of canned things but it's not much for general purpose creation. Yahoo/Geo or Xoom may give you more control. Depends on how much effort you want to put in. Right now, you've got less than (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.publish)

		Re: Transitional piece construction
(...) I'm not 100% pure. So I would use sticker edges between rail joints to insulate. Or just mount the track one stud apart, that makes a fine gap. (...) Why? You just need two switches back to back, like so (bad ascii art) A2---\ (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

		Re: Web interface search results
Do we REALLY need the precision that seconds bring us? :-) I'd vote for days or at least hours. Even for a non human readable API like this one, go with data that's understandable to humans and let the machines keep the books straight. (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

Well, gee, we're not advocating that you give up, just that Homestead may not be the place to get fancy... We'd all love to see your creations. As to how to cancel, you might try reading the FAQ at the site. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.publish)

		Re: trying to guess the stud spacing by measuring bricks
I know you went several hundred studs in length if I recall, but is there any chance that the stud center spacing is actually intended to be 8.000 mm ??? This is not intended as a slur against your measurement technique, but an honest question. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You may be pretty sure that your book has all the answers, and you may be prepared to abide by whatever it says, no matter whether it makes sense or not, but that, in and of itself doesn't make you a moron, I don't (...)

		Re: wishing upon a star
Yes, indeed, John is (as evah) right. Let me weigh in here as well... Putting meaning in keys is a sign of not very well seasoned designers, IMHO. A pretty strong principle of database design is NOT to let your key have business meaning. Get keys (...) (25 years ago, 25-Aug-99, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

		Re: Lego man
I just have to ask, why were you cruising the Personals, eh John? And as for cruising the male personals, were you "sizing up" the competition or does your bread butter on a different side than I thought? (not that there's anything wrong with that (...) (25 years ago, 26-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
