My comments about the conference are about its promotion to the outside world, including those people unable to attend. Your point about the radio coverage is well noted, could we have a link? The LA Conference was a success for the many people who attended, and yes, the numbers and the quality of the speakers was probably not surpassed (I agree that the buzz suggests that only the 1984 Libertarian International at Royal Holloway College can have a claim to have been better). As for Dr Gabb. Well, I've sent him a lot of emails that he seems to have misplaced. He is a very busy man. If he can't find any of the emails I've sent offering to help, then that's a pity. Regarding TANSTAAFL Times, I believe you will find an announcement from December 2002 on Samizdata www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/2002/12/tanstaafl_times_rip.html . I'm sorry you didn't see it. I put the announcement there because Samizdata was at the time the biggest forum I could place the announcement. Mario,

The LA was so negligent and technologically illiterate in promoting this conference that we were able only to attract 122 people, of whom 111 attended the dinner. These numbers are of course wholly unrelated to the fire regulations limit of 122 people. There was also an article by Sean Gabb in The Times the day before the conference; Sean also discussed the conference on Talksport Radio late on Saturday evening, and this was repeated at intervals throughout the night. I saw Sean using the Internet while in the David Lloyd George Room, when he announced the winner of the Chris R Tame memorial prize. Certainly none of us used the Internet promotion and broadcasting tools you mention. Sadly, all of us were very busy doing other things; and Sean is still looking very hard for the email in which you offered your services. Of course the conference was a catastrophe. The audience was so unhappy that it pressed, almost unsolicited, donations into the hands of the Financial Director, and completely unsolicited raised a tip of several hundred pounds for the Club staff; and it is only from a sense of politeness that the Internet is ringing with praises for what everyone seems to agree was the best libertarian conference London has seen since 1984. By the way, I haven't seen a copy of TANSTAAFL Times since August 1999. Have they all gone missing in the post? You are of course correct.

The downsides are: harder to get a new stadium built and competition for almost the same North London catchment areas. On the plus side, both gain from having guaranteed full grounds for derbies and each provides a target of envy and ambition, which can be constructive.

This might prove a godsend over the next few years. On the positive side I understand Spurs have a remarkably low level of debt. This might prove a godsend over the next few years.
