Sounds like airline service of recent, with luggage limitations that seems to frequently get lost! I remember when one dressed up to get on an airliner; I guess airliner should be demoted to airplane. Regards Esat Atikkan E. Esat Atikkan, Ph.D. Adj. Prof., Biol., Montgomery

Skipping meetings

Let's not ignore Andrew's comments about our time commitments. Most of us have too little time to reflect, let alone reflect seriously about our transport options. I am sure we could all choose fewer meetings, spend more time reading, less time presenting the same talks at numerous meetings, take
