Then let's not try. How about an EDI marathon? All day, all night, all EDI. I'm sure we could come up with 24 hours worth of agenda items and those who cared to, could stay up late or get up early to be on the call at the time the topic of their interest was being discussed.
I'm still skeptical of this "free lunch" however, seems like it was offered by a sales person from EDI Direct. I have no dealings with EDI Direct and haven't heard of them, but I am inherently suspicious of sales people, no matter what industry they're in. Also a firm believer in TANSTAFFL.
