*sigh* Sounds like sellers now need to put more "idiot-proofing" in their
descriptions. Like...Baseplate, 16 studs x 32 studs. Or maybe even:
ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE GIVEN IN LEGO STUDS, NOT INCHES.
Of course, I doubt that would stop people from buying and then
complaining, given the human tendency to not see what they don't want to
see.
