Y'all aren't helping me any.
"Close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades".
A name change is a name change is a name change. There are some 35 slope

And no one noticed it (or at least commented on it) for some 4 years...
Argh.
But it does explain the trouble I've always had, getting decorations
rotated to fit onto the surface of 3x2 slopes. DOH!
