And lamentable. i remember several shares being regularly on the order of 5000 and comments about the size limiting the locations available for the meetings. then there were a couple combined guide/share meetings that were a little larger (maybe around 6000?) i seem to also remember that some locations had various kinds of labor rules ... resulting in some claim that SHARE would never go back to those places. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
