The idea of "too many do's" is ridiculous. No one poster is entitled to the exclusive use of someone's weekend. There is NOT a need for a situation where social control freaks can take a red pen out and decide what events can and cannot take place. Different strokes for different folks. I prefer smaller events. Others prefer large events where they can convene several times throughout a weekend. Still others prefer to attend as many events as they can. What is the problem with "competing" events? Can't each person make his or her own decision on what they want to do with their leisure resources? If there is an event planned for Tunica on July 4 and some FlyerTalkers want to meet instead in Boston, should this second gathering be banned? Are FlyerTalkers a bunch of sheep who can't be trusted to choose between a calendar of fifteen events this summer?

If you don't like it, don't go! If for some reason the choice of restaurant, cost, location, list of attendees, etc. doesn't match your tastes, don't go! If you want to plan an event, by all means please do!
