too trivial to post separately

[Don Libes]

1) Why were the USENIX candidates bios and positions posted when they
came with the ballots anyway?  (I have to say that I was disappointed
with Alex.  I expected a more atypical photo, to go with the atypical
bio.)

2) Were there any WiPs the second day at DC USENIX?  I didn't bother
going after only 1 was scheduled the first day.  What happened?  This
always used to be informative and a lot of fun.  Please give the WiPs
more attention.  (And get someone really caustic to keep speakers to
their allotted time.  Remember when Honeyman did it?)

3) I don't understand this business of a housing bureau.  My secretary
had no problem finding a lower rate ($59 double) than the one USENIX
quoted ($75) at the Days Inn Inner Harbor at Baltimore.  Would someone
tell me the rationale here?

4) I personally don't see the need for free pens (at the tutorials),
but if you must, please make them round.  Does anyone really think
square pens are comfortable?
