Todd, All, I put an item into the FAQ reiterating TLG's Fair Play policy. I'm pretty nervous about it (I'm not a lawyer, you see) and would enjoy review and criticism on this item. Also, if you see any impolite HTML tokens, please let me know. (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Erm, headers? I was thinking more along the lines of using H1 and H2 for subject lines, categories, etc. in the final HTML. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

I know James Jessiman had a fairly extensive (but certainly not exhaustive) database on what parts came with what sets in what colors in what years. I'm not sure if it's still available. As far as a LUGNET project, there is the lugnet.db.inv group (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

Hey all, Is there any way I can find out information about specific Lego pieces? Suppose I wanted to find out if orange 2x2 macaroni pieces were ever sold -- how would I find out if they were? Could I also discover which sets the pieces came from? (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.general)

Hey all, What is the meaning behind the Lego set numbers? Do they really mean anything? Do certain themes "reserve" numerical series? Are they all 4 digits long? I know they're not all unique. What examples of duplicated set numbers are there? (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
