(...) For sure, yes! -- 2188 being available only on ferries certainly counts! :) But they're two different aspects of the word "ferry" -- one is a set which represents a model of a ferry, the other is a set which has nothing to do with ferries but (...)

I'm not with that. Why?...Read below, only one example. The sets that we know and "cotegorize" as technic sets, were not all "Technic" from the beginning. Although they were apperantly looking like the ones today, those boxes released before 1982 (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

...<snip>... (...) I think another extremely diverse set is the famous Explorien/UFO Hovertron thingy. Besides being discussed if it is a UFO set or not, It has also three set numbers: 6800 (the one released in Turkey as one of the little boxed sets (...)

(...) This may seem an odd question, but is this topic meaning to discuss how the database will be organized at a data level, or at an interface level? If the former, this is probably irrelevant to the vast mojority here, so I'm assuming the later. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

A lot of what you guys are talking about goes right over my head as I'm not as familiar with set numbers vs. content as you all seem to be, but I've got some input "from a lowly user": I am an avid boater and SCUBA diver, I also like LEGO and (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

There is one other set that breaks the rules, the Soccer Stadium starter pack from England, which had a 5 digit number. I still have the invoice somewhere which shows this number, but am currently unable to find it. All of the other sets had had the (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

On Thu, 7 Jan 1999 11:25:30 GMT, Todd Lehman uttered the following profundities... (...) Adventurers being the main theme, Desert Adventures as the 1st, Jungle Adventures as the 2nd. (...)

(...) This is an attribute of availability, just as (US only), or (Shell Stations in Holland) or (Worldwide) are. It has nothing to do with the subject matter of the model. So I would not like to see the categorization muddied up with it. I suspect (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) But given that 2188 is available only on ferries, doesn't that count for something? Its not a ferry per se, but in some way it is related to 'ferry', taking 'ferry' to be a generic term for a group of co-promoting companies. (...) To my mind, (...)

(...) Right -- but fuzzy categories don't necessarily have to add up to 100%. Something like the 1548 Ferry would probably go in as 100% "Stena Line", 100% "ferry" (which could be a sub-category of something associating it with boats), and some (...)
