The focus was on the small <br>businesses segment of the public. My comment about a panel discussion <br>was relative to that presentation. Frank, Clay, and Jeff would need to <br>express an interest in such an undertaking, then I could get on board. <br>The idea was to present what we were doing and solicit input on topics, <br>issues, ideas, etc. that would make our project more successful. I'm <br>sure I speak for all four of us in extending an invitation to anyone <br>else who would like to join in, either at Penguicon or in general. <br>Right now we are in a holding pattern, given that our last attempt did <br>not exactly draw a huge crowd.<br><br>Stan<br><br>On 4/11/2011 12:04 AM, Chick Tower wrote:<br>> Well, actually, I meant the public.
