It's not nearly as bad as it looks once you dig into the list.

I have 2 monitors. I opened the list on the right monitor and searched my inventory
on the left monitor. Did a copy and past from the list and used asterisks for
the searches. For example, for torsos with ribs I searched using "973p*"
and for the hinges I searched using "teeth". Then i just added the text
in each comments box I had ~ 175 lots and it took about 15 minutes. It's
easier if you use brickstore but I don't.

Unfortunately I have not been able to keep up on all of this as much as I would
have liked. I agree that variants are important to some buyers and I definitely
want to update my listings as I don’t want complaints against my shop. Maybe
to most people a slight difference in a part won’t matter but to some it definitely
will. I printed the list today and was amazed at how long it is.If the change
must occur, can we please get an extension on when it will go into effect?

Thank you. That’s good to hear
