Hank,

What you said about the assignment of work to poster sessions versus presentation of a formal paper is true to a good extent. Formal papers are ranked higher than posters, but sometimes good work is relegated to poster due to scheduling problems or late submission.

However, I do concede that for an eminent authority in the field, assignment to a poster session often has the effect of having him or her withdrawing the submission as a matter of dignity.

Deadlines for submitting abstracts for formal papers in advance of a conference can sometimes be almost a full year in advance. Consequently, it is often the case that when the abstract is submitted, the work in question hasn't been completed, and sometimes the work hasn't even been started. This is a common reason for there being little or no *data* in the printed abstracts of conference proceedings, an observation that someone here made a while ago.
