I thought COPPA compliance basically meant no kids under 13?  Wasn't
the industry concensus that there really was no way to be compliant?

Kevin, COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) is a specification
for how a web site can collect information about children under 13. This by
no means says that your web site can't have 0-13 users, it just means you
can't collect certain information about them.

(As a side note, the LEGO site is completely COPPA compliant as a global
requirement. Only the US has a COPPA type law on the books, but the rest of
the world is most likely not far behind.)
