I suppose in the end, that's what I was really after. Finding out what
differnce LEGO posting meant, whether it was such a great thing and whether
there was more in place, regulation wise than just common sense.
In the end, the argument "We should let them post here because they're not
going to" isn't all that convincing, but neither is "They're not going to
post so we shouldn't let them" It's just a pity that some countries don't
have as strong a support from their local as others. (A large tub of LEGO at
an Australian meet, supplied by the company? I'd like to see that.)
