Re: Attack of the Blusers - StormChaser (569) | [...] Thank you for sharing. I was wondering why Swanberg's account retained the name. Since major contributors will not be turned into blusers at some point, then I feel [...] (52 months ago, Jan 23, 2020, to Suggestions) |
Re: Attack of the Blusers - StormChaser (569) | [...] I should have read this first. This is the likely explanation of what has occurred. Now I'm wondering if there is a way I can prevent my account from being made [...] (52 months ago, Jan 22, 2020, to Suggestions) |
Re: Attack of the Blusers - StormChaser (569) | [...] Well, I thought I'd get a head start on them and exercise some choice in the matter. Unfortunately, they were smarter than I thought and have prohibited me from [...] (52 months ago, Jan 22, 2020, to Suggestions) |

Re: bb0007 Differences - StormChaser (569) | [...] Correction: this is the one that should not be in the catalog and should be merged with the part above: (Part bb0007pb01) (53 months ago, Jan 19, 2020, to Catalog) |

Re: bb0007 Differences - StormChaser (569) | [...] Ah, I see what you're saying. The photo of bb0007pb01 in black should be moved to bb0007c01pb02. Yes, that would make sense. I see that the blue photo of bb0007pb01 [...] (53 months ago, Jan 19, 2020, to Catalog) |

bb0007 Differences - StormChaser (569) | What are the differences in these parts? The images seem to me to show exactly the same parts in different colours. (Part bb0007c01pb02) (Part bb0007pb01) Am I missing something [...] (53 months ago, Jan 19, 2020, to Catalog) |
31023 Dimensions - StormChaser (569) | (Part 31023) The title says 1 x 4 x 4, but the stud dimensions are 1 x 4 x 5. Can someone who has this part verify the correct dimensions? (53 months ago, Jan 19, 2020, to Catalog) |

Re: Analysts Are People, Too - StormChaser (569) | [...] Fair enough. You're most likely right. In an ideal world the catalog would be rebuilt as necessary and the database would be relational in the ways you've advocated. [...] (53 months ago, Jan 6, 2020, to Catalog) |
