This brings up an additional point. In addition to making the
registration cost as low as possible, we do not try to wring profit
from everybody on things like ConSuite. Imagine the quantity of cider
one attendee can drink if he's trying very very hard. From
stadium-style vending at a Creation Con, it would probably have cost a
signifigant fraction of the cost of an entire transatlantic plane
ticket.
