Right. 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 (which requires
that people are there with the layout when it's on display), and one set who
want to display their MOCs to other conf attendees and look at otehr
people's MOC's, without necessarily having to be with them all teh time
(assuming other attendees know how to be careful of normally rugged Lego
models).
It makes a difference to me. I can be part of displays for the GP several
times a year right here at home, and although I enjoy it, at a con I'd
rather spend my time doing things otehr than guarding my models... but I DO
want to display my MOCs for other attendees and see theirs.
Does the distinction make sense?
