If you think this is "righteously irritated", then I suggest you try to stop projecting emotions onto text.
I am not the only person who has had trouble finding the schedule in the past, and as a con organizer myself, I am offering samples of difficulty by visitors and suggestions on how to improve the website and the visitor's experience.
As for your comments about misunderstanding, yes, I apologize for misunderstanding, but it's rather condescending of you to throw in that last bit about "pretty simple computation of standardized English grammar code". Had it occurred to you that perhaps English is not my first language, or that people on the internet did use formal English rules in their writing, so that it would not be my natural assumption to apply formalized rules to your comment?
You're looking for a chance to be righteously defensive, methinks, by someone pointing out a problem in the organization that, clearly, others have seen as well.
