Hank, What you said about the assignment of work to poster sessions versus presentation of a formal paper is true to a good extent. Formal papers are ranked higher than posters, but sometimes good work is relegated to poster due to scheduling problems or late submission. However, I do concede that for an eminent authority in the field, assignment to a poster session often has the effect of having him or her withdrawing the submission as a matter of dignity. Deadlines for submitting abstracts for formal papers in advance of a conference can sometimes be almost a full year in advance. Consequently, it is often the case that when the abstract is submitted, the work in question hasn't been completed, and sometimes the work hasn't even been started. This is a common reason for there being little or no data in the printed abstracts of conference proceedings, an observation that someone here made a while ago. David

I'm glad to hear there's an opportunity for discussion. Do all the presenters of all the posters sit in one room for days, waiting to be asked questions? It sounded like all the posters were in the same room. Is there a set time for discussion for each of the posters? What's the setup? I've been to a lot of scientific meetings but never anything of this kind. I would be hard put to call this a scientific meeting, based on the quality of the information on the posters. The Zonagen company apparently sponsored this Vasomax presentation and it seems that what is on the poster is simply what's been in their press releases. I am still busy catching up on the boards and email, but I'll post the material whenever I have a chance. It's quite difficult to believe the poor quality of some of the participants in this thread. I think it mirrors the quality of the stock itself. No ethics in the company, no ethics in so many of the people drawn to the thread to pretend to discuss the stock. There might be a scientific paper in there somewhere... Linda
