chat list, because I'm sure it's probably more worthwhile for the
people attending LCA2015 to follow, instead of the people who went
to LCA2014.<br>

what the actual rules are.

is also in NZ, so worst case you can pick new tips up when
you arrive.<br>

If you get into NZ 30 minutes before the miniconf, then
find someone you know who is getting there early and ask

If it allows it, removing the tip is probably a

makes it look less iffy on an x-ray.<br>
