I think you are misinterpreting that original comment.  I took it to
mean "a conference is not a vacation unless you are getting the
company to pay your way when you have no intention to participate in
ANY aspect of the conference."  I seriously doubt that (um, who was it
that said that) Henry meant you were being fradulent by keeping
evenings to yourself.  I think you are way way overinterpreting it....
