Personally, I don't see where the whole debate about buying stuff came from. There has been no evidence given of the loose restrictions on purchasing having a negative effect, and considering that even if it is going to be a problem, it isn't going to be something that is going to destroy FIRST. So, just wait until something bad happens, we can fix it then. It isn't really as bad as it sounds, its not like someone is just going to start manufacturing complete FIRST robots out of the blue, so I think we can wait a bit before judging.

As I have hinted at in various posts, I'm still a bit unhappy about the whole distribution of skill, not money. But that topic has been discussed enough so that it would appear not much is going to change....
