I would like to thank SQLServerCentral folks for working to help me out since I registered the first week in June and wasn't aware of the SSC code at that time.  Special thanks to Steve Jones.

I have never been able to even consider going to a PASS before this one, so I never 'checked' into the information about them. That's why I wasn't aware of the SSC code even though Andy says it's announced every year.

In an email to Steve, I suggested that they post a link to PASS information on the main page. Similar to the 'permanent' links to "Try our Resource Center" and "Support us! Visit our store!". They could have a link "PASS 2005" with the 'icon' being SSC. Then no one would be able to say they 'missed' the article.
