(...) None of those parts should really be referred to as "axle joiners" or "pin joiners". The only parts that should have those names are the ones that join them end-to-end. These parts are all what a hardware store would recognize as a saddle (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Most of you know my opinion on this one - use BrickLink names. Our community is dispursed enough. We need to work to unify what we can. BrickLink names are the most widely used amongst the community. After all, how many people convert their LDraw (...) (15 years ago, 24-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
