Well I only gave food as an example. It could be anything. It I take my cfdevcon survey as another example. A lot of people stated they found the location, accomodation and food unsatisfactory, but still said they were overall satisfied with the conference and would come again next year. So while I will be improving things next year, I wont be going overboard as I still want to keep if affordable, especially for those that can't afford to go to CFUNITED, which I can't. What with the price of the conference, plus plane fares and hotels it is literally 3 months salary for me.

Really, the food at CFUnited was fine (better than fine) IMO. C'mon people...think before you act. What if (heaven forbid) somebody on the board or at Teratech listen to you and improve the food...and what if they have to pull funds from the open bar night in order to do that??? /me shakes head. now *that* would be a travesty.
