In general, I agree with Orion that having the parts tracker is much better than not having it, and that the main problem is that there are too few active reviewers. Just as a reminder to those reviewers out there, look at the parts queue, which (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
