But looked at another way, volunteers *do* benefit everyone at the con, so keeping them fed and healthy does indirectly benefit everyone. Plus it's an incentive to get people to volunteer, and having more volunteers benefits everyone.
But those are already in the budget and we are not allocating each members membership money for each additional "add-on."
Sure we are, we're just doing it indirectly.
I think that the subset of people who absolutely *must* be able to keep in touch, but who can't afford their own Internet access/don't have a laptop/don't have any friends with a laptop they they borrow is smaller than the number of people who would benefit from spending $31,000 some other way.
