      (...) What's a tipper? Someone clue me in please. I feel that if I'm confused as to what a tipper is supposed to be, then others may also be just as confused (or maybe I'm delusional ;-) ) -Orion (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

       Quoting Orion Pobursky <orion@pobursky.com>: (...) Something that tips? Like... the yellow car in set 2126 - those ends, are the ends of the tipper. (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

      (...) **Warning: Obvious Political Joke** Well, duh. Tipper is the former would-be First Lady. **End of Obvious Political Joke** Also, I'm a tipper if the service is good. Dave! Wouldn't you like to be a tipper, too? (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) I think Bracket 3 x 2 x 2 would be the best alternative. Keep the space seat line, just use it a keyword. And although I sure it has been mentioned before, I think that all theme names should be relagated to keywords and not as parts (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
