That's fine, but then they happily do what they want anyway, to make the most money. I do think Teratech puts the most popular courses above the rest, but it looks like they still retain the right to fill slots with sponsor sessions. Who in their right mind would offer a 3 hour course on ASP.Net applications at a /ColdFusion/ conference? I know that some CF developers use ASP too, but I seriously doubt it's the majority, and I also doubt it merits a 3 hour class in the 2nd largest session room. However, Microsoft pays Teratech a lot of money to be a sponsor, which I'm guessing gives them the right to a session or two. And, yes I'm still planning on attending. ;) "EMF <idahopower.com>" made the following annotations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
