To the best of my knowledge, Randy has made it to one FT event in the past two years (besides the Freddies, which he himself hosts). We are rightly very passionate about the events that we, ourselves, organize. It seems inconceivable to us that others have competing priorities and do not share similar passions.

Randy is incredibly generous in funding this board where we can meet and exchange ideas. When you consider the tens of thousands of people who come and post, it is understandable that Randy receives far more messages and requests for his involvement than time permits. Certainly FT does not pay the salary of Randy nor his staff.

I can appreciate your frustration, but I think it inappropriate to post on Randy's board challenging how he allocates his time.
