How many Worldcon events did you organize and how many Worldcon panels did
you chair and appear on? Russell might well be chuckling at this
suggestion. (On the other hand, the sf community Russell and I have hung
around in for the last 20 or 40 years tend to be the Aussie variety, which
is less given to `fanboy libertarianism'.)
