(i asked everybody i met on site, and was universally told by those i asked to "stop worrying about it".) If Paul is present specifically and only for Q&A that pertains to subject matter with which he is knowledgeable, his presence helps the ops community. I have not seen any writings that indicate that Paul was at b&g or bofs or other portions of the conference. Based upon that data, I am inclined to support Paul. The proper procedure would have been to let Merit know that he would be there to support the individual presenting the talk. Other than that, I see no offense.
