There are plenty of folks in the above camp.
It's all very well to point out that FAL should be aware, but where do they find this information if not plugged into a forum or some other source?

(* = Law as "I/they" understand it - remember it can change based on a whim....)

We need to support the likes of COLFO, SSANZ and NZDA, though I have little faith in the last one. Rant over.

The other big problem is alot off hunters are very practical people and the thought off just trying to do a submission is a very scary concept and I fall into that category and I wouldn't even know where to start to do one so like me most people I put in the two hard basket
