David,

OK, fine. The general point was: We meet and have met in places in the 
US and Canada that are not one hop from "everywhere". Dave seems to 
think that Minneapolis is incovenient, it's not one hop from San 
Francisco or San Jose generally speaking, but I don't think this rules
it (or San Diego, or Philadelphia, or Pittsburg) out as an IETF 
meeting venue.
