Or make another list? Keep advocacy and commerce semi-separate?

That too. Let's have some more stuff to discuss.

Like, we should mention LCA2003 in a letter as an event for techies to be 
boning up on *now* so that they do come, but not as total newbies, and get 
something out of it to take home. I'm sure James, James, Harry, Harry and co 
would be _delighted_ to suddenly have to plan for 3-5000 attendees instead of 
3-500. (-: Raise the price! :-)
