i examined the parts already in ldraw and discovered that the needs work parts
are all missing details that don't affect the use of the part and therefore can

  I didn't want to get into the discussion about why your parts were not
accepted because I don't even know which files were rejected but I think
that people here are looking too much at the details. If you take a look
at some of the Technic gears that were created by James and were
official files for a long time (until another person finished them),
you'll see that they were *much* worse than some files in the vote
(would they even be on the voting ?). But I don't have many parts that
you created so if they were rejected because of serious problems then
it's completely different.

note that i am not putting you down but i get the impression that i am a
failure as a parts author and am seriosly thinking of giving up and switching
back to my red alert add-on, where my effort is appreciated. :(((((((((

  Please don't give up, you can be of great help to all of us. It's not
every day that someone start doing as many parts as you did.
