To underscore Jeff Metz's point, I have to say, though this is hardly analogous, when I go to the theater, or to Lincoln Center for an opera or a ballet, I certainly do not discomfit myself while in attendance by complaining about what rules were in place for my conduct. I go to somebody else's venue, to somebody else's event, and simply follow the rules for engagement. There are lots of places in a polite society where one does this, obeying the rules and enjoying the moment.
At York, I may not have been a fan of all the rules, but I have simply obeyed them and contributed my little 10x10' part (no simple feat for me to accomplish) of the Meet. I am happy. My customers are happy - their purchases tell me that, as do their pleasant and very welcome conversations, which in eight years have never once been about cameras, phones, or strollers, and certainly never about tipping restroom attendants (!) Simply, I thoroughly enjoyed the business and the company of so many like-minded fellow hobbyists.
And I do not think I am alone in that regard.
