Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net>

I forwarded this to some of the committee members.  Barry answered
already.  He's registration, not dealer's, but he said he believes the
dealer's room is sold out.  I expect there will be more from the
committee folks, but if you want to relay that back to Susan, it's
probably reliable.

I posted a suggestion back that they might want to state that it's sold
out on the web page.  Maybe they'll do that.
