Had I been a first-time attendee, I would've felt like a 
high-school freshman being told who all the "cool seniors" 
were.

Frankly, it was awkward and off-putting.
---------------------------------------------------

Not only first time attendees, but also long time list
participants are made to feel that way; me included for 
making comments about vendor spam or top posting.  I note 
that not only randy is doing what he says, but other old 
schoolers are now gone (such as vixie, li and others) who 
are folks that a person could learn a lot from.

ps.  I always shot peas at the "cool kids" table in the 
lunch room in high school.  From time-to-time I want
virtual peas to shoot now days...  >;-)
