Let me buy you a clue (clue for $1000, Alex).

1) Were you planning to show up?  If not, then why do you care?

2) Having Dr. Tom at KansasFest is like having a Jewish person
   or a black person at a KKK rally.  Can you say "living hell,"
   "haze" and "not a happy camper?"


3) I believe for the sanity and safety of all attendees at KansasFest,
   it would be best for the Dr. Tom to not show up.  Several people
   have announced that potentially destructive activities would occur
   if Dr. Tom attended.  It could have been for that reason why the
   KansasFest committee decided that Dr. Tom would not be welcomed
   (which I believe was the actual phrasing, not this "ban" crud that
   Dr. Tom made Dr. Buggie post).

P.S. For anybody still reading this thread, KansasFest '97 should be the 
best one in years.  Not attending will miss out demos and annoucements
of the hottest software of this year.  I can guarantee that there will
be tons of surprises.
