Thanks for removing the CAPTCHA. It is easier for your readers to communicate with you. But it doesn’t seem to allow to response to the original comment. While the blog is shifting to focus on the even updates and calendars, can you consider to bring back some popular columns, when you are free of course.
Wow! I have no idea such event is so expensive until now
@Shannon – I got the comment field CAPTCHA removed, hopefully things are better. On the FTU price, it hasn’t gone up in several years despite increased venue costs, meal costs, AV costs, speaker costs to bring in new and or speakers, two full days of sessions and not a bunch of sponsored sessions. This is a hobby for people averse to spending money so we realize it is not for everyone. Those of us that do attend have a fun weekend.
