> when you issue invitations, you already know who can attend.
Do you think Dr Bob had a little list in mind when he issued the invite???
> If you send a wedding invitation to your Aunt Frieda in Timbuktu and you live in Cleveland, you already know her reply will be "no"...
Well... I guess you figure it is unlikely that she will be able to attend... But she might. She just might... Would you be upset if she turned up, or pleased?
> The only difference here is that only the wealthy could attend from anywhere outside of the surrounding three states...Sure. But even within those three states some people won't be able to make it because they have prior committments (work) or because their SO won't let them or whatever..
> I DO understand where jyl is coming from. An "open invitation" is truly only open to a select group of people in this case.What do you want him to do? Pay for everyone to get there? Even Babble isn't open for those without internet connections. Do you think the party should be called off because some people can't go?
> I am not having as difficult of a time with this; maybe because I am mostly disappointed in everything these days- it just gets heaped in with the rest of the disappointments, for me...((((Sunny)))) I am sorry that it is hard for you. I felt the same way about the chat function for a long time. I use my uni account for babble and they have blocked online chat. So I can't do it.
