Welcome! I can't tell which of the two authors of ths following conversation is the more paranoid, but clearly at least 1 1/2 of them are totally wrong with their assumptions about 'agenda' and 'receptiveness' and 'one-upped.' It's so obscure, I don't know whether to take it seriously or not. BUT - if you are serious about submitting, to an international audience, I suggest that you first: - Read "Information Warfare: Chaos on the Electronic Superhighway" - Get the Proceedings from InfoWarCon III, 1995 from 1.800.488.4595 and then make informed opinions and decisions. We openly ebncourgae and welcome controversial subjects; that's why InfoWarCon's are so successful Fromthe sounds of it, no one else would have you. <BG> Make it intersting, cogent, contributory to the field, and meaningful. We will then take you seriously. Thyanks for your thoughts! Winn On Sun, 17 Mar 1996, Black Unicorn <unicorn@schloss.li> wrote:

I'm wondering if I should bother re-writing my "Assassination Politics" essay into the form of a paper and submitting it to these people. While it might nominally be considered right down their alley, from a subject standpoint, even a cursory look at the location (Washington, DC) and the invited people (large companies and military) suggest that my ideas would be just about as welcome as a yarmulke at a Nazi Party convention.
It didn't take an analysis of the sponsor or even the forum to determine this.
I'm not aware of the agenda (hidden or otherwise) of the sponsors, so
I don't know whether I should even bother. Many people aren't particularly appreciative of being "one-upped" (not to mention made obsolete) so it's not clear that they'd give me the time of day. Any ideas as to their receptiveness?
I think you should keep your day job. As to "one-upping" the key figures in the field. Good luck.
Hey, you asked.
