Question: Can I save enough money by September to pay for return flights from NZ and accomodation for a week? Answer: Probably not, but I can try! -- James Miller

On the plus side, Astoria isn't an expensive place to stay at, and in September there won't be the summer tourist rates. The airports to fly into would be Seattle or Portland.

Is there any more information available? If so, where can I find it. I live nearby (Seattle) so I will be attending, but need to make plans. Paul

I live nearby, perhaps an 8 hour drive. But September is quite a ways off. Anything can happen in 3 months time. If nothing prevents me, I will attend too.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt: " - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!" But yes, you're sadly right.

And I really doubt anyone but programmers know rfcs exist. RMS doesn't let people send him documents in proprietary formats - let's all refuse to read top-postings with an auto-reply with this link :)

The bulk of email I get is still text/plain. Thankfully.
 And anyway RFCs were never actually binding, they were just proposals!
That's certainly how they've been treated :-)

It also helps if people remove bits of the message they are not addressing leaving only that needed to understand the message in the thread context. Of course there are circumstances where top posting and keeping all previous material in the email is a good thing. It is just that email lists such as this are not one of them. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

Summary of previous discussion:

Q. Is there more information on the Astoria seminar?

A. Yes: http://astoriaseminar.com/index.html

So which is less helpful? The answer to a question asked in the 
previous post  which requires the reader to actually read down 
ten lines, or a long digression over some nitpicking, 
do-it-my-way "netiquette" with no bearing whatsoever on the topic 
of the thread?

How about this for etiquette? If you're going to go off-topic 
start a new thread.
