Actually, yes. When I was traveling to the Middle Kingdom more often
than I am now, I got their newsletter just to keep up on things and
incase I wanted to go to an event. I never actually did, but I wanted
the ability to.

I'm sorry. That may be a lot of money to some people, but $10 a year just
isn't that much to me. I probably won't get my out of Kingdom
newsletters first class, but I'll still get them.

I always think before saying "Of course."

And the events I go to are the well known ones, and not the small shire
events. (Speaking out of turn  here.) In general small shire events are
not attended by a lot of people from any great distance at all.
