They were covered in the original statement that I was objecting to.  Sam
said that fans come for the programming.  I adjusted that to "*some*
fans"...since I know of at least one who doesn't.  I'm not suggesting there
be no programming...just pointing out that whether there is or isn't won't
affect all attendees the same way.

Actually, I'd be more likely to attend programming at 4am than 10am...
