After re-reading the "mispost" and seeing that I am inventing people to lunch, my explanations may be suspect <g>.
Anyway, the post was meant for a co-worker in marketing. We are in the educational market and do trade shows (like CASBO, CA Association of School Business Officials), etc... As far as the rest of it, just shortcutspeak on subjects known to the parties. Sorry to report, nothing esoteric or untoward... just chalk'm as I talk'm. I had never heard that phrase before, my wife the teacher had to clue me in. Nice turn of a phrase. Brent -----Original Message----- From: J.
