I think that may have been Amy.  She was sitting directly behind me.  In fact,
she gave her seat to me when she moved back a row since I'm nice and short and
wouldn't obstruct her view.  

Moderators were kind of an issue all weekend.  I seem to recall reading that
it's the con's policy to have a moderator available and I genuinely think that
they were trying to give JMS the respect due him.  But they just didn't
understand that JMS is used to just being with the fans, not being a VIP.  That
 said, the cutesy question from that fan wasn't their fault at all.  That would
 have happened no matter what, I think.  The main issue with that particular
moderator was that he didn't simply meet JMS when he came in and ask him how he
 wanted things done.
