Matt,
Your post did *say* that those people who did not like the meet in Hawaii had some deep psychological reason for that opinion, that required some significant soul searching. Also, the implication was that that reason was not very 'fair' or very 'nice.' That was what I was unsure about. Actually, the reasons to not like the meet in Hawaii are very clear and very much on the surface, and require no Freudian-like analysis. No, I do not agree with them (or rather, there are other reasons to appreciate the meet at Hawaii), but I respect Joe's opinion, especially since he is willing to put his name on them.
By the way, I made an unfair crack at Cleveland. I've been there, and it is beautifully situated on the Ohio river. There is a lot of natural beauty, history, and culture that make it an excellent place for a meet and vacation.
