> Xhibition 90 is looking for some volunteers to help out at this year's show,
^^^^^^^^^^
Where to the folks at ISC get the gall of asking for volunteers.
Xhibition 90 is a profit making venture organized by a for profit
corporation. If you think that they're a charity, just an exhibitor
what they charge for a booth. If they need staff, they should be
willing to pay them.

You neglected to include this line- >> Volunteers will receive a pass to the Technical Program... We do pay our staff. Here, we're trying to give students a way to attend the conference and learn things that probably aren't available as part of their regular curriculum. We make no apologies for being a successful, growing business. We don't pretend to be anything but that. (And don't think we wouldn't mind some of the tax and postage benefits enjoyed by "non-profit" organizations.) -Aub Harden PS I can send you a long (and IMHO, impressive) list of exhibitors who don't think that we're too expensive.
