(...) You know, this piece typifies the problem with the process and why no new parts get published, at least from my view. The burden of detail required for approval is too onerous. In this particular part the ice cream is fine either way - as the (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I had the same argument with Steffen about part 3010pt6.dat (URL) I have a few of these bricks and all of them show the pattern slightly off-center. Also online pictures of this brick seem to be identical. Therefore I created the digital version of (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

What I agree with Matt about is perhaps redefining the level of (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
