Except that -- going to the main page for the first time in a while,
since I have the pages I usually reference bookmarked -- you've removed
the fact that we have a chair for '02.  (I think that this could be
considered 'no new information' in a negative sense.)  Which means that
not only is there no direct link from the main page to Capclave '02,
there's no mention of it at all.  I suppose that a determined fan could
search through the Journals, finding from regular reports that we were
in negotiations with hotels and that, from context, we were planning to
host it in the fall . . .

Didn't you say that you have something up?  I could have sworn that I'd
asked something about that and you'd responded in the affirmative but,
perhaps because of the hour, I've forgotten what.  Just checked the
Upcoming Cons and Events page and there's nothing there for fall of this
year, saying that we're planning to hold a Capclave around that time, so
that can't be it.
