I am in Los Angeles finishing up a pleasure trip to visit some of my children who work in the area. I fly back to New York City tomorrow. While airborne I will be preparing a few upcoming posts for this blog.

I also want readers to know that I will continue to keep you posted about Jupitermedia's dealings with the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and associated hotels. We are readying a legal action that I outlined in an earlier posting.

I remain steamed about the unethical and smarmy treatment Jupitermedia received from the Mandalay Bay and feel it is my duty to remind trade show operators to stay clear of running any events at either the Convention Center or the associated hotels.

I am also contemplating creating a Web site to post the whole history and which will hopefully attract postings from other organizations that have had similar problems with the Mandalay Bay group of properties.

One of the beauties of the Internet is that it is allowing people and organizations to get out their messages far and wide for very little cost. Of course some of these messages are nothing more than vendettas or quixotic jousts, but in many cases a solid message is part of the deal. There will be those who think I am perhaps part of the former category, but I think not.
