RE: LInux Demo Day

[SIMS, Paul, LCTL <nospam [at] lombard.co.uk>]

Meadowhall is a commercial concern, it was one of my original arguments as
to why they would refuse permission, health safety aside. They are
perfectly at liberty to accept or deny whoever they choose, for whatever
reason, since it is private property. To accuse them of promoting illiteracy
is like accusing London Underground promoting a hatred of music because they
(theoretically) don't allow buskers.
