Ok...
Going to respond to all of you in this reply...
1. AVN/Internext has tried reaching out, but you all have to admit that Aly took a beating, Tom Hymes got pounded on, everyone that has tried to have a discussion typically gets tarred and feathered.
2. I offer myself as the next in line for the punishment. I stand on both sides of the fence, as old school brick and mortar guy and web operation - so I humbly submit that I am a good person to stand in the middle and broker a peace.
3. Greenie (love ya too) please understand that I was just saying why I like being there during CES and not why anyone else SHOULD for any reason at all.
4. If you all have suggestions for panels then let me know now and I will do anything possible to make them happen. I want topics, speakers, ideas of any kind.
5. I will get feedback from Renee regarding dates and the what, where, why, how of it all so everyone has a better understanding.
6. I don't care what you do but anytime you try to please a majority then a minority is going to be pissed. Consequently, if the big sponsor programs are the ones paying for the booths and free booze then naturally they are going to be catered to in the other areas of the show as well. How many of you link list folks have ever bought a booth? That doesn't mean that your input should be ignored though and we all know that usually the traffic panels are the most heavily attended seminars. Conversely, that means LL and other related people should have a special place in a webmaster show, imo.
7. I have asked for and received special price considerations for amateurs that would not otherwise have been able to afford it so I know that it is not all about the money. There really is a catholic effort to make the benefits of attending available to all concerned.
