Re: COMMON in San Antonio (fwd)

Bob,

I FULLY agree with you on the taping...and have personally given common hq
SEVERAL good services that do a GREAT job of this...  The CSI conference
does this and it's really a nice service!  But, alas, common's dragging
thier butts here again....   They DID try it in Boston though....for all
13 or so sessions that were taped....and I think they were all marketing
presentations in one form or another...which really sucked.  I saw the
list and didn't order any for that very reason...  NONE, ABSOLUTELY NONE
of the better sessions were available on tape...  Too bad...and they
complain about needing more bucks...

Heck, take your own pocket recorder...
