Having been a con costumer since 1979, I'm used to it all and neither end of the spectrum bothers me. I chuckle at the starry-eyed noobs and I chuckle at the bitter old 'perts. I do look at their product pricing so that I can undercut them selling my own crap. I don't plan on going to any D*C steam programming because I will make what I like how I like and really don't need any 'guidance.'

I hope you find a comm you like at some point though.
