Don't have an answer to that one, Graham. I do recall some years ago at Berkshire meetings, there was one man who insisted on sitting in the front row where he frequently napped. I considered a talk a great success if I could manage to keep him awake

Unfortunately for her, her phone rang with a reply shortly afterward and I made a suitable remark that caused her some embarrasement. Is the new form of going to sleep during a talk or was she looking up the correct pronounciaition on the net.
