(...) I agree Jojo, There are a few regular Lego sets that have rather strange numbers. The (Denmark Only) education sets of the 1960's are an example. You have "Terapi" sets "I", "II" and "III", and "S/8" sets and "K/12" sets. Gary Istok (21 years ago, 18-Jun-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Hello! Sorry for revitalising an aged thread... (...) The main problem with the database probably is its strict limitation to numbers. While I like set numbers and actually prefer them over set names (because numbers are universal while names differ (...)

Hmm, it seems more and more folks are creating FTX posts with FTX hard new lines without a real new line. If these are being created in the web editor, could it reasonably force a real new line? It's slowly getting to the point that NNTP access to (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

(...) But that means you need to store two copies of FTX posts - one converted, and one not. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's something to think about.
