When you have literally thousands of people circulating through the same area you are going to get a whiff of a fe that, well, don't smell pretty.As far as saying anything about it, I don't. Then again, I am a writer, it doesn't pay to piss off fans. The smelliest gamer I have EVER met was at GenCon '04 (last year's Con for those without a calendar) on the last day of the convention. He came up to me and asked me to sign copies of books I wrote. I did the "grin and bear it" thing and signed as fast as I could.I try to be forgiving. I know that there are people who through body bacteria, sweat, whatever, accumulate terrible BO and a short period of time. Still, I would think that people with this problem would go out of their way to do something about it.Patrick</blockquote>
