They may have -- as you well know, message delivery is far from
"guaranteed"...

However, it is a fairly common practice to remind folks just days before
a major event that they will be there -- after all, there may be a
last-minute booth change; additional information; or even a cancellation

I do receive regular messages from O'Reilly -- I *should* be passing the
info along, but I haven't received much feedback (either way) on this,
so I tend to forget about them.

If anyone IS planning on attending, a few "extra" of these makes a
greath thing to pass out at meetings -- if you don't want to carry
around extra bulk, let me know that you're planning on going -- I'll
give you my address and perhaps you can talk the fine folk from Wiley to
send them to me for disbursment...

[which pretty much eliminates the need to talk to them at linuxworld...]
