G'Day,
This seems to be slowly drifting off topic.

[VCF being a trademarked name in Europe.]
I don't really care what it is called.
Sellam, if you're so enthusiastic as to set up a
"rival" VCF to spite
someone setting up a VCF-a-like, why not just set up a VCF in the UK?
Strange, I didn't recall Sellam typing anything like this but I'll
check my email to find the original message. I took the suggestion of
a rival VCF is that one could be undertaken if someone was going to
set one up and would risk damaging the image of VCF other VCFs. I am
sure that if we were to drop a couple of friendly emails to the right
people, have them share their experiences to improve the event, we
would not only be able to offer a better event but could also use the
name in a way that would add value and credibility.
Now, we could all type about this, discuss the finer points of
international trademark law and call each other names, or we could
push ahead, think of a rough location and discuss some of the
logistics and what would be needed to undertake VCF-UK.
