I complained loud, long and often about last year's MR - the principle
response from Interex was to change the description so as not to
guarantee that all posted questions would eventually be answered (in
other words create an out). As far as I know, nothing publicly has been
said by HP or Interex about the Interex/HP love fest that started the MR
and wasted so much of the allotted time. Like, are they going to do the
same thing again this year?

I swore last year I would not go again, but have since reconsidered my
position. Taking a page out of the protest demonstrations of my youth, I
will go to the MR and sit up front. But, if after ten minutes I decide
that the format has not changed from last year's Infomercial to
something more in keeping with the concept of a dialogue and exchange of
ideas, then I will walk out. We are paying too much money and our time
is too valuable to waste an hour on nonsense. I hope others will take
the same "give 'em another chance" approach. See if anyone is really
listening.

"Infomercial" would be more like it - most of us had to pay for the
privilege...
