I think this is pretty harsh. If you're going to say that SMK is a "real nice
guy" (and he *is*), you would also say that Jaap, Jos, Joke, David are also
really nice. In particular, they put a *HUGE* amount of effort into organizing
the event, and they work INCREDIBLY hard to make it all go smoothly. I think
that this time around it has been unfortunate that there have been two major
controversial incidents, but it is very unfair in my opinion to slam Jaap and
David and the other organizers.
