I find this a rather condescending attitude, especially as the powers  
that be have deemed it necessary to select a venue that pretty much  
precludes any choice on the part of the participants.

I'm sure the people from the host, the regular volunteers, and maybe  
even the hotel people, are working quite hard to get everything  
working as well as can be expected. (My 60% packet loss has cleared up  
nicely, thanks for that.) But that doesn't mean we don't get to point  
out shortcomings for fear of someone taking it personally.
