minesweeper writes "In another sign of the times, this article in the SF Chronicle says that the seventh annual Webby Awards, typically a flamboyant affair held in San Francisco, has been reduced to a virtual event this year. Many of the nominees couldn't make it to the event scheduled for June 5 due to the downturn in the economy and fears of traveling."

    I am retired, and do not fear job loss, or loss of pension. SARS incidence is so low as to be random noise. War was not a reason to fear flying even during the campaign. The US Government operated and airline approved Passenger Harassment System at airports means the airlines and airports can crumble into dust before your eyes. If it cannot be reached by surface transport, it will not be considered for a visit.
