Hey thats where I frequent too! Though usually its just walk in, greet the
giant lego guy carrying his suitcase, check the shelves, not impressed by much,
walk out, and get suspicious looks from the staff who wonder I was so quick.

Haven't had that happen yet. I almost wanted to befreind a Lego staff guy,
restocking the shelves, but then realised he'd have nothing of interest to tell
me.

Wonderful! GO on De-lurk, you know you can do it! Just sign in, and type away!!

STUDS was a good name, it's a fun name, though as you say it may not be all too
practical. Perhaps its time to switch over to a LegOz name, and just be
something boring like the Sydney division, or something dull like that.
But then whilst STUDS doesn't really imply anything about a group of lego fans
(and it could even mean other things if intrepreted that way), the term "LegOz"
is perhaps in the same boat. I don't think I've actually made any point in this
paragraph.
Perhaps its something I'll nut over, scratch my head a bit, and try to come up
with something after my exams.
Followups to org.au as it could be a organisational matter.
