Over the last several years, I've found myself attending around 6 
conferences each year.  With the exception of COMMON, every other 
conference I participate in covers *all* (not just a fraction) of my 
expenses, and also *pays* me to be there.

And they seem to be getting by without losing money.

I'm getting the feeling that this thread on Midrange-L is becoming 
counter-productive, so I'm going to fall silent.  If there's anything 
that I can do to help, please let me know.
