John, Actually, as in almost all statistics, there are numbers and there are numbers. The 1100 number represents the number of full week paid attendance. I believe the total attendance, which counts partial week, etc., was slightly over 2,000, which is what the other numbers you mentioned referred to.
By the way, what exactly was the "bad press" Baltimore received on this list? I thought SHARE was vibrant and full of excellent sessions.

Some of the old sysprogs around here say that 5,000+ was the norm for the west coast meetings in the 1970-1980's. Then it tapered off to 2,000+ after that. I'm surprised at the 1100 number for Baltimore, but after all the bad press Baltimore received on this list...
