Likewise. And you're welcome to take the last word if you'd like.
I think it's a fascinating subject, but it's one of those things where people are rarely convinced to change their minds on it. It's like arguing about evolution or creationism, Republican or Democrat, Taste's Great or Less Filling, etc. You either believe it's one thing, or you believe it's the other and no amount of arguing will likely change that opinion.
For whatever it's worth - I agree with you about bands doing official cuts of soundboard recordings. I think that's a very cool thing, and I wish more bands would decide to do it (or had the freedom to do it).

Thanks. I'm rather fond of it myself right now.

Lawn Games has been going to Burning Man since 1994/1995 (there's a little debate about whether it counted as Lawn Games in 1994, when it was known as The Harpo Marx Memorial Croquet Society). I've been the straw man for it since 1997, when our founding father had to stop attending for a while.
If you ever want a sure-fire way to spoil your relationship with your friends, put yourself in a position where you sometimes have to pull them to the side and say "Dude - stop slacking. Everyone's busting their ass out here but you - you're drinking beer in the shade."

I'm saddened to admit that I am unfamiliar with Renn Fayre, though the Intarweb makes it sound like an amusing thing at Reed College in Oregon.
Buncha crazy kids out there!
