DJ - page 100 was reserved for oz!! I bet this is the only reason you're back...we'll let you off; it is YOUR thread after all

At the end of the day, what the supervisor says goes. It's one of the things I hate about the PhD. You have to be prepared to take responsibility for the PhD when it suits them, but it's really never truly yours...
Anyway, this is 'just' a uni event. Yes it's horrible that you're being forced to acknowledge this other person, but I'd be more worried if the paper was being submitted to a journal. Are you giving a talk or standing by a poster? Either way, just make it clear (subtly) that you did all the work - any discerning listener (who even remembers the other author) will go away and think 'now, what did that other author do'? Since you're the presenter, you'll be the one who's mostly remembered anyway - when people think of your work, they'll put your face to it!

I reckon it's the next one...

Aaaw, it should be soon oz. Hang in there!

If you hang around for a bit (or cheat by multi-posting) you could be first to post on page 100...

In fact, don't. We'll help you to quit - here's a supply of nicotine patches
