Daniel:

Just as a follow up.

WHY should this list reflect the demographic that is PofA? 
It's a list for puppeteers. There are no restrictions. 
Not all puppeteers belong to PofA. 
Not all PofA members belong to this list.

As I've written before, there are perhaps 400 people+- on this list. Malgosia 
may want to furnish the exact number. 
Many on this list do not belong to PofA.
There are around 1800 PofA members. Irrelevant.

The responses of three or four list members do not constitute a 'fair bit of 
discouragement in the ranks.'
Many on this list do not post. 

We've had as many folks speak up in this thread and earlier to support PofA 
fests. So I will make the BOLD claim that 'a fair bit of satisfaction in the 
ranks' exsists as well.

I have said that there is room for improvement. Others have stated the 
obvious that  PofA can't please everyone. Even Robert agrees. Even Robert.
But they, at times, try.

What more can one ask for? 
I know. I know.  Bad choice......... I should know better.......

accepted sense of the word...unless its an "adult Festival" >>
