I personally object to this type of "dressing down" on our chipboard....a personal email would have gotten your point across. I think you owe Jim S. an apology. Your thoughts on "Thursday until 10 oclock" what about the poor dealer that couldn't make it until 11 oclock? It can be carried on and on. The fact that times were in writing well in advance of the convention would make most understand that they would have to make alternate plans if they could not be there Wednesday. This type of thread doesn't belong on the chipboard. Just my two cents.
