Oh okay. I didn't see it that way.

I don't want to end up as a shameless self promoter (like what I think
ESR is). At the same time, if someone else just pushes out the hard
work which I and others put into this whole thing, I'd be pretty
pissed too.

That was my main concern. Till the day before the conference, the
number of people who actually pitched in were around 8 or 9. I can
mention names and things which they did. On the last few days however,
a lot of people pitched in and without their help, things would not
have gone as smoothly as they did. Because of this, I felt
uncomfortable mentioning names since my involvement with the latter
set of people was only for a short period and I don't even remember
all of them clearly.

I'll try to be more consistent. :)
