My own description is very sparse, but I included a pointer to myself, meaning I
suggested that people send me email and ask questions.

I have been reading program descriptions for a long time, and I've gone back
through old ICCAJ's and read every program description from every event.
Sometimes you get an idea, and they are usually at least somewhat interesting
and fun to read.

I am bothered by the recent trend (past few years) of simply listing how well
the program has done in past events.  It's not like I expect people to give away
secrets in these descriptions, but the complete lack not only of technical
details, but any form of technical comment at all, is a bad trend.
