Indeed "often" does mean that, pretty much, however my knowledge of
Virgin Media's infrastructure is limited to the half of it that was

Are most of the people interested in this located in London? If not I could

Do you reckon anyone would be interested to hear about GLAMcamp NYC, or rather,
have anything they'd like brought up brought up there? I can probably only make
