	The nastiness of their website has been well covered elsewhere.
It's not so much of an address collection scam as one to fill a large
space with warm bodies. If you'd prefer a different free offer, this one
claims to offer prefered seating for the McNeally keynote. I haven't
visited this site, so they may be out of seats.
