Thanks a lot for all of the great comments sent to me directly and over this
list on "Making Oshkosh Better."  I really appreciated all of your insights.
I just sent 14 pages of comments off to the senior leadership of EAA.
Here's the simple summary:

A couple of summary points:
1.  There is a lot of sensitivity around the cost of food.
2.  There was a thread going through many conversations saying that the
convention was rapidly becoming just a commercial event and that its roots
were being neglected. A number of suggestions revolved around providing
"special" considerations for show plane pilots.  
3.  Quite a few people mentioned the unhappy olfactory experience of being
downwind of the PortaPotty truck while it was "collecting" during the day. 
4.   To some extent, the homebuilders are feeling encroached upon by the
warbirds.  There seem to be fuel and parking advantages for the warbird
folks that homebuilders would like to see extended to themselves.  
5.  A number of comments about the forums - primarily about sound and being
able to get in.

Thanks for your help.
