You did a [http://wikiconferenceusa.org/index.php?title=Submissions:Paid_Editing_Moderated_Discussion&diff=next&oldid=701 good thing] there. And it only took 6 days for you to respond to my notice about the error. I am still wondering if you or Susan have any evidence at all that pre-dates April 15, that would show that you and Susan had planned on hosting the paid editing moderated session. Even a simple e-mail where it was discussed prior to April 15 could be forwarded to me. Thanks. - [[User:Thekohser|Thekohser]] ([[User talk:Thekohser|talk]]) 13:56, 29 May 2014 (EDT)
