That's not revisionist history; everyone knows we've been calling the events VCF 1.0, VCF 2.0, VCF Europe, VCF East, etc. since 1997 when it began. Sellam actually has a trademark on the term "Vintage Computer Festival" but he couldn't get VCF because it's also a file extension and it used in lots of other non-related places. But anyhow, for the hobby, we all know what VCF is -- Sellam's event. (It's not like Hans or Patrick or myself just decided to have our own events and call them VCF. Sellam owns the franchise and we openly admit it's a for-profit endeavor.) So, nothing against Erik, but when people call his forum the "VCF" they are creating confusion.
