Fair enough.

So three of us can share in a little nincompoopery ;) Yes I could have 
worded it that way to be fair.

...and on the other side of fairness if I can try to address all 
shortcomings with itemisation:

Talk Deadline: Friday, 25th October
Talk Announcements: Monday, 29th October
Conference Date: Saturday, 30th November

Registration date desired: Saturday, 16th November
Registration open until: Saturday 30th November

Is that clearer? And easier for everyone to remember and to share (which 
is the important part)?

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards
