And this I have no problem with.  I myself had my cell phone with me, but it 
was not set to ring (in fact, I left it off most of the time, in my tent).  
Considerate people like you (and there are many) are not the addressee's of my 
initial missive, and I wish in my soap-boxing exhuberance I had made that 
clearer.  As I said, in a later email, I very much do not want to ban cell phones 
from pennsic, so much as have some official way of really discouraging having 
the ringer on in common area places.
