    Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —Scott Wardlaw
   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)
   
        Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —David Laswell
     (...) See, right there I couldn't agree with you less. I spend a lot more time producing a design in LDraw than I do plugging the parts list into Bricklink, and when I'm doing so I generally have to stick to part numbers rather than descriptions (...)

         Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —Scott Wardlaw
     (...) Good thing you don't have to agree for the statement to still be true. Ldraw has just over 3 thousand members. BrickLink has nearly 110 thousand. Peeron is great for the one resource that it is most used for - historical instructions on LEGO (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

      (...) Not to point fingers or start a flame war but as I recall everytime anyone has suggested that Bricklink change to conform to some other standard, it has been rebuffed by the BL admins. This lack of willingness to compromise has, at least in (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
     
          Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —Scott Wardlaw
      (...) So then, we shall say the same? Both us and BL have long-lived and complicated systems. I never really expected you or DATHeader to instantly change your way of life, but I believe that it is time to consider subtle changes to help bring our (...)

         Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —Ross Crawford
      (...) Good thing number of Ldraw members has nothing to do with number of Ldraw users :) While I agree it would be nice if the two sources matched, unfortunately they serve totally different purposes, and that is unlikely to ever happen. BL has (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) "cheese wedge". It won't come up as "slope grille" either, while Peeron produces seven different parts that merely include those words at various points in their descriptions. Sorry, but their search engine verges on being an excellent cure (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

        Re: Technic Axle Joiner / Cross Block descriptions —Scott Wardlaw
   (...) LEGO database? To those who work for them, their part description may not be as optional as ours. However, that doesn't mean that we should make emotional choices. I worship TLG as much as the next AFOL, but we already know they don't put (...) (15 years ago, 28-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
