There's saying negative things and there's saying negative things. We've 
just digested a slew of them about AGA2004.  Maybe there's a way to 
present an analysis of PlantFest without being an attack on Tom as a 
person.

If we were considering asking Tom to organize part of a convention in 
California or Florida, we'd be looking for feedback from people who have 
experienced his other projects. This is actually the first negative 
comment I've heard about PlantFest; I was under the impression it was 
"great" based on the public postings.

This is just like if we were considering buying a large number of plants 
for a club auction from a particular Internet Supplier about whom nothing 
but praise is ever made in public, but whom several clubs and people have 
had serious problems with... it'd be useful to know this.  So to speak.
