> A couple points on Chucks questions on comped positions at conferences:
>
> I have worked ABANA conference sense 1984 (someday I may see one).  It is
very hard work.  This is no easy ride holiday.
>
> You get to see very little of the conference, so why should you pay?  You
pay your own transportation, miss half the "free" meals, are dirty for a
week, and get yelled at a lot.  All you get is a T shirt and a handshake.
>
> The goal of this program is/has been to build a core of workers so each
conference does not have to reinvent the wheel.  If you are into blisters,
bone tired, and public service contact the conference chair.  It is his/her
call.  Like the Marines, they are always need replacements for the ones that
fell by the way.
