>OK, without reading further, am I inferring that annie is stepping down
>from DLV?

Here's the story, and this is something I've been thinking about for
quite some time now. Unless my mind changes significantly, I envision
DLV 2006 to be the last time that I assume any significant role in
coordinating a major T* event in Las Vegas. This gives everybody a good
two-year warning and shouldn't leave anybody -- or the program -- in a
bind.

No particular reason, certainly not the result of anything negative. I
think I've done my part, I'm not getting any younger, and I have many
other irons in the fire. Besides, 10 is a nice round number. It will be
time.

>If so, it is assured of becoming a convention.....

I do admit that I am somewhat curious as to which direction the project
will go. I've admittedly been the one who has pushed back, sometimes
very assertively, against varying degrees of formality, some of which
have the traits of the cookie-cutter T* convention.

Sometimes it appeared to me that I was fighting the wheel trying to
keep a vehicle on course while it had a tendency to pull off in one
direction.

If people want more of a convention and I've been the one holding it
back, they they will have their opportunity.

There are others, however, who do profess the desire to continue DLV
as a vacation and not a convention.

We shall see.

>Of course other groups can go to Vegas. eh? ;-)

Yes, it's a free country, and I'm certainly not stopping any group from
planning a vacation -- or convention -- in Las Vegas or anywhere. :)

Dear Annie,

I want to personally thank you for uploading my pictures taken during
DLV 2005. I do appreciate you doing the work. And I also want to
thank you for getting DLV going from the very beginning. I think it's
a wonderful event (not a convention) for girls all over the world to
get together for a fun time in Vegas. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Lorraine Kimberly Adams
