Not surprised but you missed the point as usual.

Mogen's blog noted that he was unable to present the paper "Why You Probably Don't Need RAC". He had some quite explicit words about why he was unable to present that paper. Probably you should read all this again.

The behavior that I was referring to somewhat obliquely was how user groups sell themselves to vendors. There are words that Mogen used in that context. Probably you missed that also.

Then I asked how that behavior compared to the behavior of certain people who spend a lot of effort in this newsgroup promoting certain user groups. Who behaves like that? Well think hard.
