At least for me the numbers are easier. First of all that's the way I think
about a set: I think: 853,8860,8865,8880,8448 and not: PKW, Auto Chassis, Test
Car, Super Car, Super Car Mk II.

The name could be very confusing - what's the difference between
Crane Truck (<set:8446>), Mobile Crane (<set:8460>), Mobile Crane (<set:955>)
and Power Crane (<set:8854>),  and that's not even counting the non Technic
sets.

Also, given the set number it's a lot easier to search for the set than with
the name.

The best way of course is to use the syntax: <set:xxxx> or even <set:xxxx name
of set>  (I used two lines so that the syntax will appear in full and not like
that: name of set )

(...) All these numbers are very confusing, apart from 8462 I don't know the numbers of any sets and can't be arsed to look them up. Can't people use the proper names? Steve (25 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic)
