If this would be the only difference I'd feel ripped of as a paying
member...   :)

Yes, I probably have painted a bit too black picture of the situation.
However, making a distinction between (paying) members and (non-paying)
attendees would still create two classes of people at the conference,
even emphasized explicitely by different t-shirt colors. I don't like
that. I realize that the idea of being peers among each other is a bit
idealistic (we old farts certainly have a different standing than some
newbie with no project to show off), but I think it is an idea worth
pursuing.

Bye,
