I know. I wasn't suggesting Jeff, just explaining additional reasons why he's not a good choice in this particular instance. The trouble with waiting until after you have Ghazanfar in Seattle is that by then I will be in Thailand, and I won't be back until the 20th. Realistically, it will be at least another week before I get my life back in order and can work on AGA/NEC stuff. That's getting very close to the convention, which is mid-March again in '09. (guess they didn't learn their lesson about the potential for bad weather in N.E. in March a couple of years ago ;-) Any other thoughts? Has anyone had Tom Barr talk in the MANY years since he last spoke at AGA? Has he improved his presentation at all? He has a lot to offer in terms of knowledge, and he has a fairly large contingent of hanger-oners.

Um, I keep repeating this and I know I'm probably sounding like a jerk by now... Jeff Senske should not be asked to talk anytime in the near future. According to Luis, he doesn't enjoy it, and according to quite a few of the feedback forms received thus far, his talk was not very well-received at the convention this year. - Erik _______________________________________________ AGA-sc mailing list AGA-sc@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-sc
