And what about the import tariffs?

I think I should officially ask Todd Lehman (*invokes 'summon god' spell*)
so that we may *all* have somewhere to post parts queries.  How far off was
I though in my xposts?  I'm new to all this ...

Let's see...

You posted to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.db.inv,
and lugnet.db.scans.  The charters for these groups are (actually, were,
since I just jumped back to message:

   lugnet.cad.dat.parts:
      Unofficial renderings of official LEGO® elements/parts in LDraw DAT
      format, plus any follow-up discussions directly relating to DAT
      content

.cad.dat.parts wasn't the right place, since your question had nothing to
do with representing LEGO parts in LDraw.

   lugnet.db.brictionary:
      Discussions of parts nomenclature and taxonomy; planning for the
      LUGNET Brictionary, a comprehensive database of LEGO® elements.

.db.brictionary isn't really the right place; I don't believe that
Brictionary is intended to include a set-to-part crossreference (but I
could be wrong on that).

   lugnet.db.inv:
      Special data-oriented group for the storage and retrieval of parts
      inventories of LEGO® sets (one set per post); duplication of effort
      (multiple people inventorying the same set) is heartily encouraged as
      a safety/redundancy check against errors/omissions

Well, .db.inv is intended to be a place to post set-inventory lists, not to
ask questions about which sets included specific parts.  But the purpose of
the group covers the data needed to answer your question.

   lugnet.db.scans:
      Requests for, announcements of, and discussions about scanned images
      of official LEGO® publications for personal or archival and
      preservation purposes: building instruction booklets, catalogs, box
      flaps, other miscellaneous publications, etc.

Erk.  Again, .db.scans doesn't really have anything to do with finding
specific pieces.

I think the proper group for asking "what set(s) contained pieces X, Y, and
Z" lies somewhere between lugnet.db.brictionary and lugnet.db.inv.  There
isn't an existing group for this purpose, so the only group where this
question is on-topic is lugnet.general.
