What a strange grouping of passive aggressive comments, sorry. I applaud everything you, and other guys in users groups do to "keep the dream alive", and I also understand how much work you guys put in. There's more to "the community" than shows, and A.org is the epitome of that - warts and all.
Truth is, our hobby revolves around computers that quit being made nearly 20 years ago. For many of us in this economy, there's 2 choices: go to Amiwest, or keep your kids fed and try and help the community remotely from the web if you can in any small form. This isn't '94 anymore, people have responsibilities.
It's a hobby, we all do what we can, have fun with it how we can. I just found the weird guilt laden statements awfully offputting.
I guess it's a wake up call to me in the fact I'd never want to deal with any event with attitudes like this.
I agree 100%, I too enjoy watching the webcast of this show and was going to comment saying such but sheesh I don't feel like being b'slapped for trying to say something positive. Makes me want to avoid the whole situation, thanks. Sad.
