Sometimes, I just love being rude

I'm sorry, it's a guilty pleasure I know, but I just sent Fritz Klein a snotty email and it fills me with pleasure. He asked "Can you please send me: dates, urls and e-mail contacts" about BiCon 2003 since apparently he "cannot find information on the web" about it.

I replied:

I'm curious to know what measures you tried to find BiCon 2003 before mailing me. I tried every approach I could think of, and every one worked first time. http://www.google.com/ in particular was entirely successful.

Running BiCon is as you probably know a great deal of work. It would be even more work if we were obliged to find information for our attenders that they could *very* easily find for themselves. Fortunately only a very few people are rude enough to expect this of us.

(For those who don't know: Klein is a painfully self-important American academic who has written some about bisexuality. I'll save the detailed description for another time...)
