That criticism came from Leon Garden, not anonymous, so you could always 
send him your picture and ask if he got the wrong person. :)  Leon has 
been to many, if not all, of the AGA conventions over the years.

In terms of personal criticism, this one hit me the hardest:

"During the announcements of the awards, the speaker rudely ran ahead at 
his own pace without letting the judges say what they wanted to say, with 
the exception of perhaps one judge who seemed to have the microphone the 
majority of the time. "

Granted the person had no idea the reason I was doing this was to keep the 
awards "announcements" to the 30 minute slot we had planned instead of the 
52 minutes it eventually ran once everyone had their say, but hey, maybe 
they didn't see the previous years where I was able to keep the judges 
better corralled.  But I'll sure be trying to have printouts next time, 
and having a little huddle with the judges beforehand.  Or not, as some 
(like Scott) felt it was the "best discussion" on the winners yet.
