And just in general, there's a lot of people who really truly mean well, but don't have the experience/expertise yet to be able to make good judgements. MAS people are cool, but I'm particularly wary of messing with a formula that *is* proven to work (and three years running, at that)...
You thought we had a formula? Uh-oh...
Seriously, though, this is why we take feedback with a grain of salt. We know that 99% or more of the people handing in those sheets/making those posts don't know jack about the grimy details of running a convention. We're mainly looking to see if there's some big farking problem brewing out there that we somehow managed to remain unaware of, because that does happen.
Running something te size of ACen might be cool, but it would be punching far above our weight even if we somehow doubled the staff. It's going to be hard enough handling 3000 people in 2007, and I am trying very hard not to think about 2008, when we might could have the function space to handle 4000.
