Yes, we are all "cheap". But then, that is the only way this organization could be as successful as it is. 

I think we had all better be very grateful for everyone involved in the convention, including the instructors, the manufacturers, and the institute staff, for giving their time and talent. If we had to pay for all of the work they did, our convention fee would be in the thousands.
