There will also be Saturday morning workshops.  I will be co-moderator for one on mitigation strategies.

Best Hopes,

Why don't you buy an advertisement?

This is getting to be a bit much. Reeks of desperation, IMHO.

I don't want to start a debate here so don't bother to respond.  I will be spending my time trying to do something constructive to help solve the Peak Oil problem not answering you.

Not desperation. We have about 250 people registered and would like to have about 500, with one month to go.

ASPO-USA has very little money.

There are about 6 people in total all volunteers organizing the Conference. The Organizer Dick Lawrence rides 30 miles to Boston University by bicycle to arrange things there.

They, and I are trying to help the situation, are you?

The Conference is primarily funded by the registration fees.

The organizers of the Conference are on the hook personally for the money it cost to put it on if it doesn't break even.

Would you do that even if you were able to?

What are you doing to help sole the Peak Oil problem beside complaining?

I don't have anything against you or the conference. I am sure APSO, like thousands of other organizations are trying to do and are doing good work. I wish you the best of luck with this event and your other activities.

However, it does seem you post on this an awful lot. It seems in this case that you waited for the Drumbeat and rushed to stick in the first post. I don't think there is anything wrong with mentioning the event, but as I noted in my first comment, it is my opinion that the frequency is "getting to be a bit much". It is my right to make that observation and I stand by it.

Your defensive reply and particularly this point, do seem to reek of desperation.

The organizers of the Conference are on the hook personally for the money it cost to put it on if it doesn't break even.

Regardless, I hope the event is a success and you get your money back.
