I understand their problem... I've had a hard time trying to decide
which one I'm going to go to - there are at least three which, if on
separately, no one could persuade me to miss. :)  I suppose it would be
better if it were possible to spread them over several additional days
or something but unfortunately I don't think that is possible.  Of
course it also shows the quality and interesting speakers that the
conference has attracted.

I'm not sure about these questions so I've sent off a copy of this to
one of the CALU lists.  I wouldn't be surprised to see them freely
available on the Internet but I suppose this will be organised after the
conference is finished.

freedom, which they can then accept or reject. If people don't want
freedom, they may be out of luck with me, but I won't allow them to 
define for me what is right, what is worth spending my life for.
