Hey Dan,

Definitely not our intention to have any kind of antagonistic slant toward any group, so if anything we've mentioned or said gives that impression I'd love to know about it so we can make some evaluations.

I do believe that for the most part, the more niche a conference becomes, the more potential it has to to give a specialized level of training that can't be found in other places.

One thing that should probably be made abundantly clear is that I love WordCamps. I attend, speak, and sponsor them all the time. Nothing can replace the grass roots and community feel of a WordCamp.
