Yeah, but they are working from the CES list, so it's not one of the other 
Daniel Dern's (there's a few, none related to me).

I understand why folks (not part of the CES kfluffle) mistakenly believe I work 
for Pair (although how that got them to "As PAIR CTO, you..." Etc.

Similarly, one local mini-expo keeps re-pitching me to sponsor a 
table/etc. I have, over the past 3-4 years, written this person multiple 
times, politely saying "I ain't a vendor, I ain't a potential sponsor, 
take me off your list." I never hear back, other than the same damn pitch 
the following year.
