   I think that may have been Amy.  She was sitting directly behind me.  In    
   fact, she gave her seat to me when she moved back a row since I'm nice and    
   short and wouldn't obstruct her view.   
      
   Moderators were kind of an issue all weekend.  I seem to recall reading that    
   it's the con's policy to have a moderator available and I genuinely think    
   that they were trying to give JMS the respect due him.  But they just didn't    
   understand that JMS is used to just being with the fans, not being a VIP.    
   That said, the cutesy question from that fan wasn't their fault at all.    
   That would have happened no matter what, I think.  The main issue with that    
   particular moderator was that he didn't simply meet JMS when he came in and    
   ask him how he wanted things done.

   Ah, okay, so now I have a vocal tone to associate with Amy, maybe.   
   All in all it was a couple of good panels. Jerry Doyle obviously still has    
   his wisdom teeth...
