Agreed! PhreakNIC is definitely good peoples. Any goodwill sent their 
way will be repaid many times over in good karma to ALE.

My attendance has been on hiatus for a few years now but one of my first 
"hacker cons" was PhreakNIC 11 back many years ago. I might make a point 
to try to get up there this year...
