Dear Mike,

I am unaware of any effort on our part to routinely overbook lodging 
facilities and then trade amongst ourselves.

You do seem in quite a hurry to assume the worst about us.

>Having planned a visit to Yellowstone National Park this summer, I recently 
subscribed to an internet listserver run by a group of informally organized 
geyser enthusiasts.  I was startled to subsequently receive a number of 
messages such as the one following below.  Apparently, this group routinely 
overbooks your company's lodging facilities at Old Faithful, and then trades 
accomodations amongst themselves.  I was appalled by the sentiment "...rooms 
in the UGB seem extremely tight,we thought we should give...fellow gazers 
first shot at it."

made available to the the public at large on an equal basis.
