Well, try not to take it out on others, especially people in AU -- who get
stuffed pretty badly by LEGO on a lot of things.  Do you think AU residents

about all the US-only offerings that EU residents don't get.  The entire Dark
Forest and RoboForce lines, IIRC, weren't offered in Europe (or something
like that -- it was pretty ugly).


What's a good balance for the use of .general?  Should there be a general.us,
general.eu, general.au...etc??

.loc.us is already .general.us
.loc.eu is already .general.eu
.loc.au is already .general.au
etc.
