It is truly gratifying to know how much you enjoy this conference each year. Judy Kuster will be happy to read your post! I can understand your wish to have a good thing available for a longer period of time. However, Judy Kuster works many, many hours prior to the conference getting everyone to submit their papers, formatting everything and getting it all set up. During the conference, she is quite busy, as well, taking care of all sorts of technical issues, along with being sure that authors are responding to questions. Those of us who answer questions are quite happy to do so, but all of us have full time jobs, and it does add quite a few hours to each week to follow up. So, while it is quite nice to know people would like it to go on longer, I think we need to give Judy a big hand and let her have a rest! Thanks for your post. Regards, Lynne
