Re: [AGA-sc] Reaction?

Sorry to chime in late here. I tried to respond last night but it looks 
like I can't do that from my isp's webmail feature. Looks like I'll be 
installing Thunderbird at work.

I think we may be taking this wrong. I think Jim is saying that we 
*don't* have to have a big-name speaker. As Karen mentioned, we will 
CREATE one simply by virtue of having him or her speak. Insert 
Shakespeare quote here: "Nice customs curtsy to great kings. We are the 
makers of manners, Kate."  :-)   I believe that Jim is trying to 
accommodate what he sees as OUR wishes by suggesting Christel.

Personally, I don't think it would be good to repeat Christel or Claus 
in 2006. My feeling is that, because we didn't have a convention in 
2005, folks WILL sign up for 2006 even if we don't have a single 
big-draw speaker, as long as we have a solid line-up.

Maybe we should view this from the standpoint of topics. We can browse 
the categories in our forum to get ideas of topics. What are we missing 
and who can best speak to that?

We could also create another poll on the forum with several topic 
options. Best way to find out what the members want is to ask them.
