As you said. But might I point out, that Melbourne is a 3M person city. Hardly tiny. The request, as I said, was quite some time ago, around the time of the original Star Wars trilogy re-release, in anticipation of the prequels. Star Wars was a bit hotter back then, regaining its popularity. And mine wasn't a paid request. As I said, it can happen. Unlikely. But did me no harm and I had no expectation of a success. In fact, I can't even recall if I requested autographs, I might have only written to express my lament that I couldn't attend because of exams. Just reporting my "successful" experience.
