I don't see how you can say this, since you started this with unsubstantiated accusations motivated by a personal agenda. I don't get along great with you, but I'm happy to discuss this stuff dispassionately. All of these topics are perfectly valid topics -- they affect us all as members of the ICCA. If we want to talk about entry fees, fine no problem. If we want to talk about people racking up expenses, no problem, that is a perfectly valid topic. As long as we don't start from groundless accusations. That will make some people, myself in particular, furious with you. >>Incidentally, why are the phone jacks different in France than in >>Britain, Germany, Spain, etc. Can't you Europeans get it straight? ;-) > >Some of us can. $10,000 worth of professors can't. But you can't debate >this issue, apparently. And there is another one. You don't know how much the flights cost. You don't know how much the hotels cost. You refuse to find out, since you refuse to speak to the parties in question, because you don't like them. Furthermore, in another post, you appoint me to do your research for you, because you have some sort of code against talking to these people, but I won't do this. This event had some rough spots. You would love to lay blame for these rough spots on the ICCA. Fact is, there is a contract between the ICCA and Titus, outlining exactly which party is responsible for what. Tony's email address is "tony@cs.ualberta.ca". If you would like to ask him who was responsible for what, and start a thread where we can all happily complain about the failings of others, go for it. But until you have some facts, it is *you* who can't debate these issues. Please stop your vendetta. bruce
