I don't really mean to be picky, but posting this message about the CIPS presentation on the day before it happens almost totally guarantees that most folk will not be able to attend. Firstly, news propagation means the article will not reach even all the sites in Toronto that day; Secondly, some (most) of us need more than 24 hours to change evening plans; thirdly, some of us can't get to our news but once a day. I appreciate the effort to post these, but some reasonable lead time is needed. This is not directly aimed at this posting, but at a number of postings to this group from CIPS, U of T and U of W. -david-
