For similar reasons to why good universities contribute to the cost of
their professors attending conferences.
If each of were to contribute one Elbonian leck for each post that you
have made that has been useful to us, then you would be able to go in
style, with luxury hotel, extravagant meals, hookers, champagne,
limousine, parties, AND be able to afford to buy a lot of computer
goodies.
Since we are way too stingy for that, we should target transportation,
a crappy hotel room (if necessary), some fish and chips, a pint or two,
and some very minimal spending money for the vendors' room at VCF.
In return, we would get your educational enrichment (some of us do see the
value in lifelong learning), maybe some fascinating ACCURATE descriptions
of what you see there, and you would be familiar with the event enough to
put together an exhibit for VCF-UK 2.0.
. . . and you are our friend.
