I doubt that the invitations were misplaced - that is an assumption of your own.
And, after all, Yuri could have called them on it - in public. And, I don't
really care what his reasons for not going were - that is his business, and I
was only suggesting things he might have said to those who invited him. What I
was really curious about was the fact that he didn't respond at all. That was
simply rude. Sometimes it is difficult to tell what you can or can't comment on
in a public newsgroup. But, since this is between Yuri and the two people who
invited him, I'll drop it.
