    I don't believe it was the SNAG Board. If my understanding of how
    SNAG conferences work, it was the co-chairs of the conference and/or
    their team of volunteers who came up with the blessing. 

    I am kind of surprised by the strong negative reactions on Orchid
    against the blessing. I don't expect to attend SNAG this year, but if
    I did, I wouldn't have a problem attending the blessing. It would
    certainly be cooler if it were somehow co- or multi- officiated by
    members of different groups. 

    But I think the basic concept of the tool blessing is a cool one. A
    fun and different way to start the conference.
