Yes and in this case not only potential, sorry :(

Ouch. I can definitely see that
#907 was a more than suboptimal room to be put in
at this particular point in time,
especially having just arrived 
(and probably very tired/jetlagged from the travel)
*and* with a small child!

Point is taken and as I said in the other email
I'll be sure to be as considerate as humanly possible in the future.
One more thing: So this was the first party in my room
and I had already had some premonition that it *may* get out of hand
when I did anounce to debconf-discuss about it happening.

I'm shocked! ;)
Who are these people that you speak of?
(could not resist this stupid joke, sorry!)

Very much so!
I will be sure to apologize once more in person.

I think we've actually talked a bit this morning and
you may recognize me from talk meistering today at anamundi.

I'm glad that the situation could be resolved and
I hope that you and your family did get a good nights sleep in the end!

This I was actually not aware of: 
My neighbors next door (the other side) were in my room.
And when I apologized the person
staying in the opposite room this morning
they basically smiled and said "it's fine, don't worry".

Of course this does not mean that we didn't overdo it.
We most certainly did.
And while admittedly it was a very fun party.
I should've put more consideration into the people *outside*
of my room.

Some of us are older than others, but yes, absolutely :)

I hope I/we did not cause too much trouble for orga with the hotel!
