Writing the previous post about religion reminded me that I never did comment on the two student panels on religious matters that I went to a couple of weeks ago. The details aren't terribly important, but they provide some local anecdotal support for Sean's demographic point.

Kate and I spent the weekend in Boston for the science fiction convention Boskone, which we've been going to every year for the past several years. I'm not going to do a detailed recap of everything that was said on every panel that I went to, mostly because I don't keep notes. Also, that would…

Clearly, people come here for many reasons, but your personality is an obvious factor.
They spelled your name wrong as well, Phil Platt.
