Please, please, please take this discussion to talk.abortion or alt.flame
and get it out of this newsgroup.  And please don't forget that there are

the line anymore.  :-(

ps  I hope that you reconsider if your only reason for not going is due to
    the location, USENIX conferences are too good to miss.  :-)
