[CQ-Contest] Does Dayton hurt the WPX CW Contest?

I was thinking to a solution to this dilema a couple of weeks ago
and I found it...
Since my wife thinks exactly the same, the only way to do 2 weekends,
is to do the contest m/s with my kid, so I can give her some time to relax
by herself... my kid is only 2 and 1/2 years old, so maybe when he turns
10 I can get him involved in the contest and I can also go to Dayton...

Is a long term solution... I sincerely hope that he likes contests!! :O

I was just talking to Scott (KA9FOX) about Dayton and was telling him I
probably wasn't coming because I have plans for WPX CW.  You see, my XYL
would not see the humor in my doing two ham radio weekends in a row, and
one of them being on a holiday weekend.  Scott said that he was pretty
much in the same boat, except that he was doing the Dayton thing.

So I'm just wondering...  Has the Dayton Hamvention move to the weekend
before WPX CW hurt the contest attendance?  Is anyone else missing the WPX
who might have otherwise operated because of Dayton?

Just curious.  Not proposing anything be changed, so calm down.  The
Russians will be there either way... thank goodness.
