I don't start or spread rumors.  I was just remarking on the strange
silence on the list so close to when I thought the con was scheduled.

The only rumor I've heard about Capclave is that it has no open
parties, i.e. that all parties are invitation-only.  I checked the
website, and it's ambiguous on that point.  I don't know whether the
rumor started from the website, from the Balticon incident, or from
some other source.

Although the parties are the main things I go to cons for, I do not
plan to go to any parties at Capclave except those I'm explicitly
invited to, even if the con does in fact have open parties.

I feel only marginally welcome at Capclave, so I'm going mainly only
because I had told so many people I would be there.  Also out of habit
-- I've been going to Disclave and Capclave for well over half my life.

Thanks.

Like last year, I see inconsistencies between the member list, the
program participant list, and the program grid.  If anyone cares, I
will list them.  If nobody cares, I won't waste my time.
