Because if someone doesn't want it known what sessions they're attending (or registering their interest in), this probably applies at least as much to random other attendees as it does to random non-attendees. E.g., if someone is stalking you at a conference, you definitely don't want them to be able to see which sessions you're attending simply by them registering interest in all then sessions. I also don't see the social value in knowing in advance who's going to be in the sessions you've said you're going to be in. Surely, if they're sessions that you've registered interest in yourself, you'll find that out when you arrive? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
