Thanks for responding! Your post puts me in mind of a favorite saying of my old physics teacher at high school many years ago (actually during WWII) He used to say to those of us who tended to be abit impatient that" There are more ways of killing a pig than choking it to death with Butter" Picture to yourself the scene at the opening of the convention, which was planned when disaster still stalked the Bourse. The lady was gracious. Maybe a little long perhaps but the points came through. At least she didn't make the mistake that I heard a keynote speaker make at an Engineering convention some years ago, when he said after his intro..." I'm going to give you a short speech to-day, and for that you should be grateful, because only my wife know how long I can be....." The rest was drowned out by laughter. LLAP
