(Cuddly Toy Ed: So now you all know where the big Meet-Up is!)
No it is not, at least not without my supervision. Not with these Room Service prices!

Your disclosure raises an interesting question. I am well aware of the contributions that Oracle ACEs and ACE Directors make to the community at large (I know one Oracle ACE who is involved in five presentations this year), and I do not begrudge you or the other ACEs/ACE Directors the freebies that you receive.
But what of the cuddly toys? Certainly there's no problem with them sharing a room with you, but if they set foot in a session at Moscone, isn't that $2,000 a pop? We're talking $12,000 here.
The only solution is to have your cuddly toys qualify as Oracle ACEs, or perhaps even ACE Directors. Perhaps the first step is to have them guest post on your blog, to establish their technical credentials.

Believe me, there isn't much chance of that! Perhaps if The Dog was here ...
to establish their technical credentials.
You see, the point is that they feel that technical credentials are a minor detail and that the only reason I'm in this hotel in the first place is because of the callous way I've used them ...
and they might have a point.
It's a minor source of frustration to me that you can't just paste a Hypertext link into the comments form here but, should you ever want to include a link, all you need to do is use the BBCode format, as mentioned below the comment form.
Here is a link to the relevant part of the document that explains how.
