LUGNET threads might eventually be overlooked... In all other aspects, excellent (...) (19 years ago, 28-Dec-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Even if the bricks are not warped, there is some extent of shrinkage which causes the lack of grip - I think I heard from different sources that CA bricks never had too much grip to begin (...)
