Understood.

Well, please present your offer/proposal to Interex.  I have done my stint
on the conferences and I have stepped down as chairman of the conference
program.  I am no longer affiliated with Interex except that I give them
money every year for membership, booth space and advertising.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

I had almost forgotten my signature file contained that moniker, I
usually cut that part out when I post to HP3000-L.  A SPAM-like explanation
follows:

Interestingly enough, Justin Thyme Productions runs "Political"/C3I type
games at Game Conventions.  Usually they have a Star Trek theme (we don't
charge money for those, else the Viacom lawyers would be after us),
or they are historical events such as the Battle of Gettysburg or
The Thirty Years War.

We have a NEW one which simulates Real Estate and Corporate development
in a mythical California West Coast city.  It's called "West Coast
Shuffle".  It has been described as either "Sim-City meets Monopoly" or
"Monopoly on Acid".  Various "factions"  :-)  are in it, Industrialists,
Environmentalists, Real Estate Developers, Organized Religion, and Street
Gangs.

Would anyone care that my group presented "West Coast Shuffle" the next
time
HPWorld hits Southern California as an after hours diversion?  We can
accommodate about 100 people.  We could charge per person or Interex a
flat fee.  All that we'd need otherwise is space for the players and a
place to crash.

(Of course, if you'd all rather play a Trek game we'd only need player
space and a place to crash, since we couldn't charge you money.)
