Yes, of course it's useful to give good advice. My point was, that neither we nor the attendees have to proof that they'll find the absolute best price, finding a reasonable good price is good enough here. (And then there are also more dimensions to "good price" than just the pricetag and soon we leave the subject again and enter different areas where we dont have to be to organize or attend this conf.) cheers, Holger
