oakenguyThere are a lot of con-goers here. Let me toss out the situation and get your opinions.
Say you pre-paid for a convention months and months in advance. About six weeks before the con is due to start, another obligation arises for that weekend, so you write the con to tell them you can't make it.
No response.
A week or so after this you get a mailing addressed to everyone who'll be attending the con. You write again, this time cc'ing a few more people in the con hierarchy, to let them know that you really, honestly, aren't coming, and while you know they're busy, a response would be nice.
No response.
Even more time passes. Do you:
*Just give up, and forget about the money;
*Poke the hierarchy again after the con is over, hoping for a refund or credit for the next con;
*Yell loudly now;
*Something else?
