Hey All Other Hosts,
This is Technohosts.com. I will be attending the Web Hosting Expo in Washington DC, and will also have a booth! I was curious to know if any other hosts will be in attendance, as I would love to meet with you.

The expo costs 400$ for full package w/ all meetings. The booths are charged by square foot. I think they have a website somewhere.

Wow! An opportunity to pay to actually hear Chris Faulkner speak, instead of having to only read that rah-rah "the customer is always first at *****" stuff in every "independant" internet industry-related magazine! How could I miss that?

I'll probably find a way...

Just leave the weapons at home, they'll probably have metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs.

For me, it's this: I don't buy magazines that pile praise upon the Faulkners of the world simply because they are big and have lots of advertising dollars to spend, I don't patronize host directories or similar places that have the same approach, and I won't pay -- or have my company pay -- hundreds of dollars for a seminar that has chosen to honor him as a keynote speaker and at which the attendees will be expected to be in awe of the guy because of his "success" and at which he'll be held up as someone to pattern yourself after simply by virtue of how his company's marketing success has overcome its technical and customer service shortcomings.

But yeah, you guys can throw eggs and stuff, if that works for you.

If Chris Falkner speaks, I think fellow hosting people will continually interject, and start asking him some “real” questions. Would be interesting.

Seriously, I don't think the post in this thread is the reason in spite of its potential offensiveness. If you do a search for californian's posts you'll find that most of the recent ones apparently violated the forum rules -- I'd assume through some advertisement, but I didn't see them.
