As a fellow pilot I am equally appalled by the mayors actions. I agree completely with the boycott and would like to see this brought to the attention of the city that ARIN/NANOG may have trouble attracting members to Chicago due to the terrorist acts of their mayor. A little quick on the gun with the "Terrorist" label? Is everyone you disagree with in public office a "Terrorist"? So don't fly to a Chicago airport, stay in a Chicago hotel ( there are plenty in the suburbs not too far outside the city ). There's quite a few GA airports around the area. Palwaukee airport in the NW subs is decently sized. Lake in the Hills airport is about 10 minutes from where I live, so maybe you could hitch a ride... ;) I for one am glad to see Nanog in Chicago, as in the age of dimminishing travel budgets I will actually be able to attend rather than try to watch an intermittant video stream. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ Director, Engineering | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net
