re: If you have something to say...
Let me help you understand something here...other people's lives are involved in this besides Cowing and I have no interest in following your suggestions about revealing what I know here.
I'm perfectly willing to tell my dirt on Cowing to individuals, just not in public at HZ.
If you truly were interested in knowing more about the Mars Society Convention you could have asked a dozen questions (as I left huge holes intentionally).
You didn't. Instead you ask about the dirt...this makes me doubt your sincerity.
