I don't think the STC conference is the right venue for super-technical
presentations, simply because of the niche appeal of such topics.

For example, I doubt that a networking seminar that is elementary enough
to help ME would be of much interest to somebody like Andrew. *I'd* still
like to attend one, but I don't know if that's the kind of thing Andrew
would like to see. He tends to seess the tech writing field in direction
relation to HIS job, which is not necessarily similar to everybody else's
job.

What's a good solution? Introductory seminars about commonly used
technologies would be helpful to me. Would that make you happy, Andrew?
You'd probably be a great presenter at one of those, if they didn't make
you pay admission. (To that end, I just wrote a letter of complaint to the
STC - it will be interesting to see their response, if any.) But I still
don't know if you'd want to be in the audience...

How technical, and how deep - that is the question. Actually that's two
questions. Funny that Shakespeare never caught that in Hamlet. Crummy
editing, I guess.
