They didn't suggest them, I solicited from *them* because I knew they had extras that weren't in use. Both sponsors are also happy to ship them to the conference, we just need an address where they can be received. Le Camp? Directly to one of you guys in Swissland? Taking into account some of the concerns voiced, I think having 2 different kinds of lanyards available +/- "clips" for those who feel that wearing such a lanyard is openly showing support for that corporation (which I disagree with, but such is the argument) is a suitable compromise. For those who prefer lanyards, they will be available. For those who don't, there would be some clips available, correct, Cate? -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Patty Langasek [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------- At times, you may end up far away from home; you may not be sure of where you belong, anymore.
