Complimentary to Ted's posting, I also would like to be counted in the minority of people who would prefer that we not exclude the majority of people by never getting to a particular part of the world. I'm not saying this should be in heavy rotation, but here's a thought experiment: what would happen if a lot of people showed and continued to do work? Would it mean that people would put up with the arrangements or would we still have complaints?

For the first two, all the rooms were available. For the last one, I had to take two doubles instead of a queen.

It's one that happens ever IETF, and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We got plenty of advance warning this time--I put an entry on my calendar. I would have been perfectly happy if I didn't get a room at the hotel this time, as you've said you are. > > So I don't really know what the problem is here. I did a little looking around last week to see if I even _wanted_ stay in the Hilton, and there are a lot of really nice (looking) hotels in Buenos Aires. I think this is a non-problem, but of course we will discuss it to death anyway... :) > >
