The whole vehicle base is one part. Nothing on it is meant to come off.

Sure?
LDraw has the part (11650.dat) without the plates with wheel pins and the part
with the plates exist in two versions: 12622.dat in one colour and 12622p01.dat
with LBG plates.
Are those some sort of rivets?
Or do they use a special technique to connect the plates?
| | | | I feel like the axles are going to snap off of the 2X2 plates if I pull any herder
than I already am. Also, I've never seen a post with a tapered part at the
end like the chassis piece has. It seems a bit like those Bionicle brains and
heads.

More opinions means more agreement on what is better.

I’d prefer Opalescent but that’s my French brain speaking. Opal can do as a
short form.
Satin is “continuous,” smooth. Opal(escent) is “pailleté” (sequined/spangled)
(and milky).
The parts don’t look smooth as satin.

So am I.
Maybe writing those long messages didn’t help.
| | but it kind of seems like you're willing to cut Russell some
slack for being sloppy, but not extending the same courtesy to me.
|
Yes, because the Russell made a confusing metonymy while you discarded readily
available facts.
It’s a line in the sand but it’s a line nonetheless.

It wasn’t about me, it was about the admins and Russell.
As much as I do poke at them when they do wrong or could do better, or when they
don’t do as I’d like , I think there’s a limit to uncandidness.
| | I typically cut most or all of the quoted post because I figure if folks are
invested enough, they'll read the thread. I hate the posts where they are
187 messages long and the whole thing is quoted and quoted and quoted to the
point you can't find the current content.
|
I agree with that (and do it too) but that’s not what you did: You didn’t remove
the chaff, you removed the facts which, strangely, didn’t go with your story.
(And as you cut all I said, you could have directly answered to Teup’s message
and I would have just pointed you to my answer to Teup.)
| | Not trying to poke you in les yeux or anything like that. Just saying that
satin is a finish, and if anyone's been paying attention, Russell said they
were calling the color satin (for now).
|
But they are not. They are calling them Satin White, Satin Trans-Light Blue
and Satin Trans-Dark Pink.
If you take this fact into account then you understantd that what Russell said
is a slip of the tongue, an abuse of language, or bad metonymy: he thought “finish”
(or even simply “colours”, because there are three) and said “colour”
instead.
| | Satin is not a color. It is a fabric. And from the fabric, adopted a a term for
a finish in papers and other coatings.
|
And that’s exactly how it’s used by BL for colours.
And in the exact same way LEGO doesn’t call these colours “opal” but uses “opal”
as a qualifier for known colours (well, at least for two of them as we don’t
know the name of the white one).
Ditto.
And on a totally different note, the song “Eternally” by Charlie Chaplin/Geoffrey
Parsons is known as “Deux petits chaussons (de satin blanc)”/“Two Little sleepers
(in white satin)” in French (totally different lyrics).

If BrickLink is going to use "silk" as a color, then I'd like to suggest
burlap, corduroy, hemp, twigs, type two, and open O for future colors, because
they're also just as fun and useful. Hey! Everybody knows what color type
two is, right?
|
Most of your remarks on names and descriptions are very well founded, and I get
the comical device of exaggeration, but this, this’s just disingenuous: You
cut my answer where the BL colour names were listed, colour names in which Satin
is clearly used a modificator (“finish”) of other, known and common colours,
White, Trans-Light Blue, and Trans-Dark Pink, and then you go on to imply BL
wants to use Satin as a colour and not a finish.
