This is not what you said in your past e-mail where
you noted:

"The minimum number of sign-ups, for this event is 6,
otherwise you can expect a cancellation notice."

I took the above to mean that if less than your
defined minimum sign up I can NOT count on Linuxcaffe,
period.

This is not what you wrote earlier.

Linuxcaffe is your space, how you manage it really
truly is totally up to you and I have NO business
suggesting otherwise. If you want to impose conditions
upon the use of the space that is your option and I
have no right to complain.

My concern is making sure I have a venue available
even if just one person expresses an interest in
attending. I could be quite happy with Linuxcaffe, but
to go by your earlier e-mail if that isn't an option I
will do my best to find another venue, an annoyance,
but hardly the end of the world. After all I promised
to do a KnoppMyth install workshop next weekend, and
this is a promise I would like to keep.

I have received e-mails from 5 people saying they want
to attend (with 1 person saying he plans to bring a
friend). How many of those people will be willing to
sign up for an account at Linuxcaffe is in my books
neither here nor there.

Until I have a better picture as to what is going on,
no.
