<HTML><HTML>I was fascinated with Bernhard Stopper's presentation -- it was one of the highlights of the convention for me. In this frame of mind I apparently missed out on the disgust thing. I do think that the face to face, elbow-rubbing aspect of these meetings should be the higher priority, and we are now hearing that many feel that way, but with no format set in stone for these meetings, I think Kent's last minute experiment (as very busy PTG pres) was certainly commendable. If food is there, I'll eat, too. John Baird </HTML>
