Haven't heard of it, but I'm all for it - assuming the details and KSL's sponsorship don't spoil it.

You know, you have a GREAT point, Kim. Somebody from the organizers called me and asked me if we at the Deseret Morning News would be sponsors. In my opinion, he was pretty pushy about that. I was noncommittal, and to get him off my back I said he should send me a press release and we could evaluate it. No doubt sensing my lack of enthusiasm, he never contacted me again. The thought of a news organization sponsoring any kind of news story leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I still haven't heard a clue about the details. -- Joe On Aug 28, 2007, at 9:32 PM, Kim wrote:

So, my feeling is unchanged - let's be careful with this one. If the sponsors were the IDSA, Astronomical Society of the Pacific, or similar organizations I wouldn't hesitate. I agree with your caution, Joe.
