Mine, OTOH, has been the exact opposite. I've been interviewed by her several
times and I have always been happy with the results. (The same cannot be said
for several others.)

I don't know what the IETF's policy regarding attendance fees for journalists

notion that people who write stuff we don't like should have to pay more is
truly asinine - think of the message THAT sends loud and clear.
