Quoted from meSz:Agree as Stern is the only one that delayed anything. IAAPA announced that flags would be lowered at IAAPA but that "IAAPA Expo Europe will continue with its planned schedule from September 12th-15th". So makes Stern's reason for delay seem a bit asinine!
Your right. Stern delaying this has nothing to do with the queen. It's just the best excuse they could come up with. It doesn't even make sense.
