One of the pleasant things about EAS is the LACK of "high mucky-mucks".
The host team and current officers are never seen lording about the place.
In fact, the host team and officers are easy to spot - they are the ones
seen "taking care of things", lugging heavy objects, and so on.
They clearly act as "worker bees".

Given offers to answer "any questions", but no reply to the offers, let
alone specific questions, wasn't it a certainty that no answers would result?

Does anyone honestly expect people planning ANY event to both subscribe
to and read all of every Bee-L message, let alone respond to each and every
one of the comments/questions posed on Bee-L?  Aren't they perhaps a little
busy working on getting a major event set up, implying that they would be
LESS likely to take the time to read Bee-L?

Back when I lived on a sailboat, I had several "Port Guides", which
claimed to list the services and amenities available at every port and
marina on the planet.  Are you saying that there is no similar type
of guidebook for RVs in North America?  If not, let's publish one!

           yields 3,610,000 hits, while "schedule unchanged"
           only yields 276,000 hits, and infers that any
           one schedule has a 90% chance of being changed.)
