I really dont feel thats completely fair. Have you looked at how most of these 'confrences' nickle-and-dime everyone into having to beg from their boss? Even if you go to some non-vendor-driven confrences without going to any tutorials, it can easily be a thousand-dollar-plus venture. Being gainfully employed and having an employer willing to assist in career development and assisting the community (by sending good people to these sort of things) I don't think that when my boss sends me to a conference that I can't possibly do this in a dual role, becase they also send you for the community. (in the hope that doing this can further themselves, yes, but it helps others, too.) -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ringworld.org/
