Exactly.  And the person who was complaining (if I recall correctly from the
article) was with a group that hadn't been allowed to participate.  Not that
this invalidates what he's saying, but it means that he's going to be more
critical of the folks running the show than some others might.

Granted, the stricter your standards are, the more likely you are to lose
people who don't have time (or don't want to take the time) to handstitch
buttonholes or whatever the requirement is.

But, Charlotte might be right about the WoW.  I'd probably have much better
garb myself if it weren't for the Sims.

YIS,
