One learns things everyday!

I got curious why i have more than 3000 Classic Space parts but Peerom.com says
i can't build a simple 20 parts classic space MOC.

The MOC is basically 4 Balloon wheels, a Black Plate 6 x 2, a Yellow space
minifig, a Steering Wheel and a White Antenna 4H.
It looks like classic space, it smells like classic space but it's not classic
space.

I browsed Peerom.com without much success, it just lists too many sets with
Black Plate 6 x 2 (so many that even a classic space fan can't identify what
sets are Classic Space) and also many sets with White Antenna 4H.

So i open CaroML and i type:

  filter (has_brick ("3795",Black) 1) Official.classic_space;;

It tells me what Classic Space sets have one Black Plate 6 x 2 or more.
The answer is only one set qualifies: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6972_1

Then i type:

  filter (has_brick ("3957",White) 1) Official.classic_space;;

It tells me what Classic Space sets have one White Antenna 4H or more.
The answer is again only one set qualifies: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6980_1

Wow, bad luck, i own almost the whole theme but not these two sets.
I didn't ever noticed their specificity before because i compensate with sets
from other themes.
Are they so much rare and precious?
No, they are just ordinary sets, actually they have no specificity, every sets
are different so each set has its specifity.

My CaroML.distribute function is exponentially more data-greedy than "Build MOCs
using My Parts", saying i can show its functionality using just a few set
inventories is like saying i can restore freedom in Irak using a slingshot
weapon.

I am sure Dan is sincere, but the restrictions he imposes to me are rather
drastical.

Hi Dan, Thanks for these clarifications, as i said i am not a native english speaker, i usually use english when writing technical documents, i am a terrible diplomate and things get even worse if i have to negociate in a foreign language. So i (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
