Could I also discover which sets the pieces came from? (...) (25 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? (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)
