There should be about 75-100 breweries in attendance. We are looking for people to volunteer to pour beer in 2 1/2 hour shifts in exchange for free admission, tasting glass, etc. More information and a sign up form can be found at: http://www.greatbytes.com/brewsnblues Please don't sign up unless you are sure you can make it! Thanks in advance. Jerry Macala ------------------------------ From: MaltyDog at aol.com Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 00:01:42 -0500 (EST) Subject: Is there no such thing as privacy? Am I the only person who was extremely offended to see a web page recently that listed the results of a contest that I had judged and entered, and included the score and the first and last name of every person who submitted entries to the contest, and their score? I think it is in extremely bad taste to post the name, score and entry for 19 point beers. There is no good reason in my mind to post other than the top three entries in each category. If someone who didn't place wants to find out how well they scored overall, than it is their business to contact the contest runners, who may or may not give them the information. This whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. I will say for what it's worth, that I did not score a 19, nowhere near it; but I still did not like seeing my score up there! I would be interested in hearing from others on this subject.
