Hear hear. Conference organisers, past and future, take note: Attention of attendees is *not* a commodity to be traded. Just because some parties will pay significant sums for that, it is *not* your place to sell it to them. Your place as conference organisers, rather, is to provide value to paying attendees. Their trust is hard earned, and easily lost. -- \ "Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty." -- Groucho Marx | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
