Morntonhall, sorry, it is the McDonalds knee jerk reaction to events that cause more problems. IF the situation was not clear, and not enough facts were known then an apology should not be given.

I am sure that everyone involved was running on a serious lack of sleep but it at least Perry has done this worldcon organising gig before and should have known better.

re: McDonalds reference if you ask to speak to manager they will appear and apologise before they find out whether it is even required.

P.S. I had a great time at the con. Truly enjoyed myself and wished that I could have spent more time there.
