RE: The relevance of COMMON (was Penton to buy Duke - News400 magazine)

I have to agree with this. The last COMMONs I attended (at least 2 yrs ago),
it seemed a very cliquish atmosphere. I feel I have better access to people
(including IBM) on these lists than I did at COMMON. I learn more and have
a better resource for answers than I did at COMMON. Between David's list
and Ignite, my needs are being met.
