[ST] vericon guest announcement

[David D'Antonio]

Hi all,

Given the level of dislike for Mr. Card expressed here, I'm now  
curious how often he is a GoH at SF cons, in general; I can't imagine  
that this area is *that* different from other areas that would host  
cons. Or do cons take the attitude that they are honouring his SF  
work rather than his non-SF opinions/beliefs?
