Um, I've been quoted in the lamp and have never been asked for permission.
However, I feel that posting in a public forum gives implicit permission. Now,
since delphi actually requires membership (never mind that it is free) one
could debate whether or not delphi is a public forum, but I will stay out of
that one :o)

     Nothing 'unsure' about the above. You guys need to get your act together.

     Reporting the news is not "taking liberties".

     Everyone knows that the only reason the report was attacked is that it
came from Dr. Tom.

     The same week as KFest, our local users' group had a swap meet. Probably
just the sellers outnumbered KF's total attendance. One seller who sets up at
various A2 events did not even mention KansasFest.

     KF is in _big_ trouble. Pretending that you can cruise along without
making changes will not solve any problems.
