Well thanks for being the meeting Nazi Tim; you sure do enjoy the punishment that comes with it. If people have something to complain about, then they should say something. Otherwise it is a mystery to me and everyone else if someone is "fuming" enough not to show up and contribute to a meeting. That said, does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the things somewhat on track? I like my nurf gun idea. If there weren't laptops involved, I'd suggest super soakers... -- Mark C.
