Hi - I know you're probably trying to be funny, but this kinda reads like an insider vs outsider comment.  Why erect barriers when we don't need them?

Depending on one's opinion, zoia is a chat bot in the IRC channel that provides feedback and hooks to outside systems - OR - it's an annoying waste of IRC window real estate ;)

I suggested that all registration for C4L should go through zoia.

If you don't know who zoia is, maybe you should learn more about the C4L community before queuing for a conference spot. ;)

Hiya - ya know what the cheapest, most inclusive part of code4lib is?  The IRC channel.  I know it's old school, and one more thing to learn, but drop in and toss an idea around.  I've found it very rewarding.
