Public MOC displays refers to displays for public consumption. I wasn't really making the distinction between LUGNET/AFoLs and the "naive" public. "Public" refers to the difference between a display on a table for a bunch of people to look at versus a MOC that you show someone at your home (more one-on-one). Regarding the time/resources spent "guarding" the display, as convention organizers we're willing to put the resources into whatever aspect of the event is most appealing to attendees. The poll wasn't designed to include your - as a MOC creator - time to guard your own MOC. It was meant to poll attendees how much time they would want to LOOK at the MOCs. It is a good point about the "sacredness" of each person's MOC. I know when I went to BricksWest, I brought a bunch of delicate and intricate Castle MOCs and I wouldn't even have considered showing it if I wasn't there. On the other hand, it was really awesome to stand (or sit after my feet started hurting :) behind the MOC and watch the kids faces light up. -stephen In lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, Kevin Wilson writes: > Stephen wrote in message ... > > Where would you like us to put most of our energy and focus when putting > > together a convention?

I do think though, that you are getting two sets of answers to the one poll question... one set from people who like to put on MOC displays for the general public to view, like a train layout at a show (...)
