OK, Spark. I had no expectations for 'why' people didn't attend, and I didn't ask the question.
So let's delve in....
Here's you from three posts back: "I�m still at work so cannot get too in-depth right now, but I�m glad this came up. Will try and collect my thoughts for later. Definitely feel what others are saying, and I�m glad to see I am not alone in thinking things might be a bit out of kilter."
So something is 'out of kilter,' and you're 'glad' this topic came up so you can give an explanation of why you didn't go to the PB Con when all the while, you really had no intention of going to the PB Con at all, even if it was free.
In your next (2) posts, the first being your composed reply to the 'question,' and the second being your reply to highflyer, you cite a lot of reasons for not attending, and evolve to the conclusion that attending the conference does "...not provide an acceptable return on my investment."
And finally, in conclusion, it's now set forth that you're just here to help others.
I'll try to digest all that and figure out how it helps Pond Boss.
And, I never said you had to pay anything, nor anyone else had to pay. I only used that fact that you didn't pay anything to highlight that there could be no expectation that you would actually pay for even more Pond Boss than what you already have (eg/ attending a Pond Boss Conference).
