I don't think I would call Eric an RTM troll, I've met him and he is too tall to be a troll

But seriously, he does perform a valuable service and has a wealth of knowledge on the rules.

I understand and respect his knowledge, but is this an appropriate response?

Instead of posting and waiting two hours for someone to see and respond, it may have been faster to read the Game Manual, Section 4.3.11, Pneumatic System.


And that's one of his tame ones.

A better response would have been, here's the rule. And then here's some help.

I posted the rule, then commented that there was a faster way to get the legality information.

Now, legally, part numbers don't matter, specs do. Any solenoid that fits the specs given is legal. If the question had asked for part numbers, then I might not have answered (and almost certainly wouldn't have answered with the rule).
