However, I, too, applaud Steve for taking money out of his own pocket to compensate someone who wasn't offered a seat at dinner.

It was great to see you at the GTG this year.
I would respond to your comment, respectfully, that I won’t speculate on whether or not the organizer makes money, but your point that we always pay for our Friday night dinner is, to a large degree, the issue because the NRD was paid to the organizer for that sole purpose, as specified by the organizer. If communicated from the beginning that the NRD were to be used for the organizer’s plane trips and hotel bills, I would be willing to bet that 99% of the attendees would not have blinked at this and been supportive.
