Well, but "this topic intentionally left blank" turned out to be 
interesting.  :-)

I see where Seth is coming from; this is still an SF and Linux con, and those 
subjects should form the core of our programming.  But fans and geeks have 
wider interests than that, and I agree with Molly that adding things that 
appeal to other interests will enrich the con and make it even more fun.
