        Re: Just a quick question... —Eric Brouwer
     (...) I really like this idea of standardization of sorts. I was going to ask about it earlier, but didn't want you guys to think I was "rigid"! here are my thoughts. 1) Buildings that are based on half a baseplate sounds great. 2) I have to imagine (...)

         Re: Just a quick question... —Larry Pieniazek
