John,

>That is a pretty sad commentary. Let me get this straight... you are a technical editor of one of the 2 dediciated Fox pubs - and you will not attend the conference for the product you write/publish about? I for one find it astounding that Ragan Pubs won't foot the bill - again for product you write/publish.

By the end of November I will have attended 4 Fox-related conferences this year and will have met with authors and community leaders at the Las Vegas conference. Both Mike King (FoxTalk's publisher) and I will be in Las Vegas talking with the community, meeting with Microsoft and many of the MVP's, and representing FoxTalk there. That does not show a lack of commitment to excellence or of service to the community -- just the opposite.

Ragan has committed significant resources to the re-launch of FoxTalk, and we are putting even more resources into expanding FoxTalk's subscriber base and reach into the community.

>You really can't say or claim any commitment to excellence if either you or your publisher is too cheap to attend the major conference for Fox.

What is cheap is the shot you just took at me and my publisher. Stop trolling and give up the jihad, John.
