Let me make this simple and clear. People are rushing in early to RMTC
primarily to get a good deal on equipment, then they hope to win the big
14-inch Meade telescope, and then they go home. If you think that
everything was packed on Sunday then we must have gone to two different
conferences.

I think where the two of you aren't connecting, Del, is that your real
complaint isn't with RTMC: it's really about the materialism of the
people who attend. I'd submit that RTMC isn't really to blame for that,
and no matter what policies RTMC chooses they aren't going to change it
either...
