Now who's confused? Where did Charles even suggest that anyone here wanted small companies or unaffiliated students to stay out? He asked whether the company orientation was off-putting. And got attacked for it.
Hint: If there's a perceived problem, there's a problem. Charles and I aren't the only ones who see it. Insisting that there isn't is not productive. Suggesting alternatives, or offering contrary evidence (that SHARE attendance is actually healthy and increasing), would be productive. So far I don't believe anyone has done either of those.
