I fully agree, Bruce. Your suggestion to include them
in the event is right in the line of the idea of
TECHWR-L. However, I fear the aleniention from
TECHWR-L of strong STC members. I just wanted to
protect the Rays from criticisms from anyone in that
field and don't want to lose the opinions of those
folks from the Ray's listserve. I believe that
separating this "alternative conference" from TECHWR-L
responsiblity would prevent Eric and Deb from
scrutiny.
I agree that a brigand's conference should not be the
theme of the meeting, but you must admit that we are
creating a reactionary band of rebel tech writers who
(may) know no laws. I hope that we might know the laws
