I'm all for this event - I might even be there myself, but I have a question.
Doesn't this sort of get-together compromise (for the attendees) the anonymous cyber identities we all enjoy. Now I know that the kinds of topics we discuss here are not sensitive in the same way as might be the case in other fora, ie we won't get sacked if we slag off our airline employer and are identified, but doesn't anonymity confer an ability to be more open in the topics we discuss?
What are the views out there in (currently anonymous) cyberland?
