Heya! Well Martha wasn't kidding. You guys are a difficult audience indeed. I have quite a few sessions still in need of chairs for the VM/Linux program. So you know you're going. You know you want to chair. You know that if you don't, I will start to nag more and more. I can script something to send you all e-mails every couple hours til you relent and sign up. Don't make me get nasty. Worse, don't make me have to call on Martha to help again...
So please, help out and sign up for a couple sessions. If everyone chairs just a couple, it will be really easy and we'll be done all quick and nice...
