Actually, I think you're taking me a bit more literally than I intended. Many
of the boys (and some of the girls, apparently) in his third grade class were
heavily into Legos at the same time, and taking Legos to school led to
arranging trades at school. I don't know the specifics. I use the term "trading
ring" in the traditional "crime ring" sense, and not in the modern "web ring"
sense.

It was never an issue. Apparently the Lego trafficking got to be so disruptive
that the teacher had to label them as contraband. Since the kids couldn't bring
Legos to school anymore, the trading slowed considerably. All this happened
about a year before Spaceport showed up, I think.
