There was a booth at the technical conference in New Orleans but there 
wasn't one at LISA because:

	a) you didn't tell us you were volunteering to pay for booth
	space.  The booth for the technical conference was donated by
	Usenix.

	b) There was nothing to sell at the booth.

	c) Some of us have other lives and don't have the time or energy
	to do this all the time.

The distinct lack of any action on the -advocacy list should be a hint
that people seem full of ideas but a little short on implementation.
