It looks good. I'm glad to see it, even though I am not a con attendee (of any cons).

That's still good to hear. Thank you.

How are you holding up in all of this?

I fell asleep before two in the morning on Saturday night and slept for nearly ten hours; I was exhausted by Sunday midnight. Today, I think I'm starting to come back. I am glad of the decisions that have been made.

I am, definitely, better than I was.

That looks like a properly thorough response on the part of the concom.

I'm impressed and relieved.

These are good reactions!

Holy crap! Not just a well-crafted and heartfelt apology, not just a reversal of the decision, but the resignation of the Board! Color me extremely impressed. Hope this relieves some of your stressors. *hugs*

Thank you. Actually, it has!

And tell the concom!

I've no connection to the con, obviously, or to any other, but that looks like exactly the response that's needed to the situation I've read about. Well done!

I hope this helps to turn things about and that the con will be able to go on for many more years.
