Re: wrt joao damas' DLV talk on wednesday

attending nanog wasn't an option. i hadn't realized that sitting in on joao's talk so i could be there for Q&A equalled attendance, and so i neither paid nor offered retroactively to pay.

Sounds to me like your intent was to be a "Speaker"

do you really think i should? (i asked everybody i met on site, and was universally told by those i asked to "stop worrying about it".)

If Merit had simply given you a "Speaker's Badge" then all this tempestuous teapot wouldn't have dribbled a single drop. --Michael Dillon
