Forgive that last post....apparently vbulletin doesn't like using outlook as a spell checker. This one should be a bit easier to read.

------------------

Forgive me for interrupting the lovefest but I have a few comments on the "show".

First, as memory serves the Cybernet Expo was held at the same hotel last year. The same hotel with the same horrific service, separation of attendees across two lodging areas split by a large parking lot and the same facility issues such as faulty plumbing, musty rooms, etc... Why was this location chosen again? Several people made negative comments after the last Cybernet and despite all the assurances given that corrections would be made; the hotel was worse this year.

As I see it the sponsors who rallied to make last minute changes in venue and or event deserve major credit in pulling their events off. If I were one of them I'd be demanding a refund on my sponsorship; especially if I were the happy hour sponsor CE, who's yellow paper cutout "drink tickets"; did not even include their program name. Rest assured they had Cybernet Expo on them however. Additionally, the attendee's deserve a few accolades for pulling of this "show". In stead of throwing a fit over the monster which Cybernet themselves created by not changing locations everyone made the best of it by finding other activities away from the "show", as the group I was with did, or just grinning and bearing the ridiculous rules should they decide to stay round the hotel.

Cybernet turned out to be a good time but the only credit I can give the organizers is Dave's trickery to get me to pickup my badge. After waiting 10 minutes for the bartender at the sponsored happy hour to calculate the cost of two beers Dave asked me if I was preregistered (which I was) and insinuated that it wouldn't have taken as long if I'd picked up my badge. Wow...how my badge would have helped him calculate the cash I was using to pay is beyond me, but I digress. Strangely enough, the next time the colleague I was with attempted to order from the same bartender he was told they couldn't serve anyone without a badge. Well done, Dave.

Those of you who know me know that I'm a very laid back guy who takes all issues in stride and I honestly had a good time at this "show" as long as I was away from the communist rule of the hotel but I think it's completely wrong for the organizers to come out of this smelling like a rose and not making amends for the issues they created. Jay put a nice spin on APN Phil's cancelled thread but it was nothing more than a spin.

I'm off my soapbox and for those of you ready to type "if you don't like it, don't go"..you read my mind.
