Re: [isp-marketing] ISPCON - Don't feed the Parasites!

Personally I don't believe "bikini booths" will keep anyone away that really
sees the value of ISPCON. That's the whole point, isn't? You are going to
the show because of the value of the information you are expecting to
receive. It would be like passing a Hooters or Ambercrombie & Fitch
billboard on the way to the airport, only to turn back an not get on the
plane.
