The U.S. dollar has shrunk noticeably since the early membership
rates for WorldCon 2009 were published on September 27.

Back then, less than six weeks ago, early membership cost 50 USD
and 55 CAD. Today those rates would be reversed.

as <m...@privacy.net> declared:
I'm fairly certain it will. (The reasons for the replacement of the
scheduled 2007 British Eastercon with a short-notice rescue bid simply
don't apply -- not unless someone has physically transplanted the
Liverpool Adelphi to Heathrow -- and preparations for the con, at least
from a GoH's worm's eye point of view -- are running on schedule.)
