a) Room full of only the people who can fly to anywhere in the country and pay $400, all drooling over the latest International Guru? or b) Room full of anyone who wants to attend, all on an equal footing, all learning from what each other has to offer.

Which one of these fits the culture of this list better?

Given the very high proportion of postings by a very low proportion fo subscribers, and the many subscribers who hardly ever post at all, I'm not sure you'd like the answer to your question. For myself, I'm asking what people would actually exert themselves enough to attend. If hundreds of people just want to lurk on this list and wouldn't attend any event that was organised, that's fine. But that would make them not the people who should be deciding what form such an event should take. - Donald Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.
