From a commercial pov, the overheads on distributing to 20 people have
got to be less than doing it for 80, so I know what I'd be tempted to
do.
But then again, if you're trying to build your customer base, you'd go
the other way.
Given that different people have different themes of interest, perhaps
voting should be by theme?
Hmmm. That won't work. Perhaps initially, theme-specific parts should be
excluded, in keeping with what LD is proposing to offer. After all, Brad
is talking about 'special' in relation to standard bricks, so even
ordinary medium slopes might come into this category.
