Rob from our friendly friends over at the Webcomics Community has been wondering about the latest 'no human contact' policy at conventions and the offense people might take at not having their hand shaken.

"Convention attendance can often lead to illness. Many people in a small, crowded place often does. There are many old jokes about "Con Flu" and often exhibitors and attendees can find themselves ill for some time after attending. While illness is not guaranteed and cannot be traced specifically to handshaking (there are many other possible causes like airborne viruses, food contamination and unclean surfaces) recently some organizations have suggested a "no touching" policy. I'd like to know how important a handshake is to the people who attend conventions."

Since we all like surveys, why not assist Rob and let your voice be heard right here?
