This seems like a simple question. Why is it not answered?

John asks above - why is the simple question not answered? In our minds,
it has been answered - several times. ...

The organizers have said more than once that any “extra” money will be used
to make future events better.
It’s not surprising that there is some confusion over the answer. You could
end the confusion by making a definitive statement.

Marc,
From all the examples you listed, it appears several people have tried to
answer your questions. Wouldn’t you agree?
Personally, I don’t understand what you think they are trying to hide.
If you want to assume people that run BrickFest, Brickworld, or any other
AFOL event are only doing it to make money, I guess that’s up to you. It
mainly confirms that you’ve never been involved in running such an event.
I don’t really expect to see you at an AFOL event anytime soon, because it
appears you’re more interested in trying to find trouble, than enjoy the
company of others who may share an interest in a fun hobby.

The question was: who, if anyone, will be profiting from this event.
I started with the assumption that no one would be profiting, since I was going
by David’s message. After reading Bryan’s email, I thought he was saying that he
and Adam would (potentially) be making money off of BrickWorld.
The official answer seems to be: yes, the organizers (and possibly everyone
attending the event) might be making money; and, yes, no one will be making
money.
Personally, I don’t see how those two statements can be reconciled. But I’m just
glad we received some answer from the organizers of this event about what would
happen to any potential profits.
With that information in hand, potential attendees and volunteers can make up
their own minds about whether or not to support the event. Thanks once again to
Bryan and Adam for their help.
