It appears that my earlier comment has been misinterpreted? I meant that Conference can be more useful if it has more attendees, not that the attendees were not useful.
I was under the impression that Conference was disappointingly under-attended. There's always the risk that a low attendence can result in bias in the outcome of votes, etc. We can obviously reduce that risk by attending Conference. As you have observed, I wasn't at Conference this year (due to a prior family engagement, if that's important). --- Wayne Retter wayne[dot]wrecker[at]ntlworld[dot]com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Melzack Sent: 14 February 2007 23:13 To: Britdisc Subject: Re: [BD] A UKUA central TD person/committee? No offence personally Wayne, but; "whih will require attendees to be properly useful." Those that did attend had a very productive day; the conference lasted for several hours and we achieved quite a lot. We covered all the items on the agenda, some in far greater detail than was expected of us and as we all gave our own free time to be there (some flying all the way down from Scotland especially to attend). I don't see why we should receive criticism as to how 'useful' the attendees were, or the implication that the conference is pointless as it does not address the matters you are currently arguing. I do not remember seeing you there, so find it quite belligerent that you should make such a statement. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
