Now I'm glad I followed up with this here. It was submitted within the last
24 hours, I don't even know if it made it into the archives yet. Does the
helpdesk link require someone to first create an account at www.ldraw.org?
I didn't, perhaps if it didn't find an account to link it to that would
cause confusion.

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=73590 - OK so why wouldn't it show
up in the PT? I'm missing something here, and I'm pretty sure it's not
related to my mind.
Question: What is the 'minifig wipe'? I don't recall that part offhand.

Thanks I'll try to add that in - once someone finds out what happened to the
official LDRAW version of the part.
