Hi All, Firstly, I agree.
But, this is up to the People of Witango and the Presenters. So I thought to myself... How do I invoke opinion that backs my thoughts on the value of the information being released to the community (in one fashion or another)? Answer: Bring up the issue in with a spin. I can't tell you how many times I have brought up points to various vendors, only to have them say. "We have heard nothing about this from others". Now, this is not to say that the good people at With will or have operated this way. I like to have ample representation from both sides of the issue Now, also take into account that the Good people at With, probably also agree, but if it is anything like (probably 10 fold) what all of us recovering from the conference. It might be a little bit... ;-) Remember time travel coupled with jet lag is really tough :-O Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WiTangoGoodies.htm Latest downloads & List Archives @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stephen Arnold Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 12:53 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: My Conference Recap - Our Thoughts Gosh, we're glad to see that so many agreed with our premise. This is exactly what we spoke to, basicly telling Ben that we thought his point of view was very limiting, where it need not be for the conferences to still have merit for those who attend.
