You're right - it's hard to find good 100-200 level material that's fun to read. When I first tried to submit sessions for PASS, I asked the selection committee members what kinds of material was needed the most. They suggested there's not enough good intro-level stuff, and so I've focused on that ever since. The rooms always seem to be packed for the 100-200 level stuff. It's not what I would enjoy attending, but there's a huge need for sure. Don’t apologize for the plug! You’re right – it’s hard to find good 100-200 level material that’s fun to read.

I try to remind myself of this often, especially when creating a new presentation for user groups. I think the natural tendency for user groups is to keep getting more and more advanced in their topics. When a new person starts to attend, most everything is over their head and they risk losing interest. So it's good to have mid-level materials. Great point!
