OK line one: M stands for model, it has been used for as long • as

been around. I don't like S for set.

I would agree with all except this.  My reason is because 'set' • can be used
to refer to the entire package, where 'model' would refer to • individual
items within a set.  ie. Terminal, Airplane, Helicopter, and • Service
Vehicle for an airport set.  We could call the overall thing S • and the
submodels M, but that would be very confusing and break the • models up in
the directories.  That would not work out well.  Still, it is a • Lego set, a
model is generally agreed upon to be a component of a set.

OK I can live with that.

As I wrote you, if you're going to name submodels a, b, • c...etc.  let the
letter have significance.  a should be the first submodel • appearing in the
instruction booklet, b the second...etc...

Do you have to have everything that is a submodel in the
instructions, a
submodel in the model. There are times when that doesn't make
sense.
If not we need to know which ones are complex enough to include.
