I'm sure I speak for all the people who submitted papers before the
earlier deadline when I say I'd really appreciate your letting us know
a lot sooner than that. Tickets don't get cheaper as time goes by,
and others' failure to submit should not penalize those of us who got
our proposals in on time.
