<div dir="ltr">I would tend to agree with Mike. It appears to me that the lesson learned was not to compete directly with us. There is plenty of room up on that calendar. I would love to have a local convention I could attend without having to work. The only thing that disturbs me about those guys is that they seem to want to make this happen for the wrong reasons. This kind of thing really only works as a passion project. It doesn't appear to be something that is extremely profitable. It also seems to be an ego thing, at least to me. </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 11:27 AM, mike fryer <<a href="mailto:darkbeerdrinker@gmail.com" target="_blank">darkbeerdrinker@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I hope they do well.
