Thanks, Kim. I'm really looking forward to this gathering in Havre de Grace. I hope that we can get some folks to come out and join us for a few days of rest, relaxation, a little saling on the water, and maybe some shop talk on top. While I'm at it, I want to thank Barry for all these great posts about the Webmaster World Conference. Sounds like some great discussions have been going on.
