Hold on thar Bullwinkle! Let's analyze what you just said:
You want to suggest that it's appropriate to reschedule a lecture on *perl* so
that a bunch of sad males, married or otherwise, will be validated to stand in
huge lines, to buy expensive vegetation, in some vague attempt to satisfy the
artificial societal pressure imposed by the dual cabal of the krypto-fascist
flower industry and the opposite sex?
I think not.
Remember what they say in Japan: "Everyone wants to be where everyone else wants to
be".
Uri, I love you like a niece, but I'd rather give you the flowers on some
random day that doesn't include images of cherubs with ancient weaponry than to
my own wife at the appointed hour.
I'm not sure if this means that you want to have the meeting or not :-?
steve is a long time friend who is just busting me here. my issue is
more about low attendance. i got a couple of off list (those should be
on list!) replies expressing interest and unlikely to attend. so to have
a better crowd, i suggested punting on v day. very few so far have said
they would attend that night. most or at least many of us are actually
in relationships and regardless of steve's sentiment (or lack thereof),
market and social forces exert extreme pressure to spend cash and time
on these made up holidays! :) my wife actually would let me go to the
meeting as we have something booked for the next night.
so back to the actual topic. do we reschedule for tues feb 21, or punt
altogether and i do this talk in april?
thanx,
uri
