Starbux hasn't been around for twenty years. Are you sure you're not J. Kent in disguise ? :)
PS. Yes, you should come back for a while. You're starting to sound like one of _them_. Ug. :P :)
And yes, I can show you stuff that has dropped in price. :)
Someone in the wordup group has been making a lot of hoohah recently over whether this talk has "exclusivity". This someone was worried about onlookers or people deliberately eavesdropping.
Perhaps I'll go there and eavesdrop, just for the kick of it. Maybe some bouncer or bodyguard might tell me to back up or please walk on by, no loitering. Or I'll book an "exclusive" seat and check out who this clever "froggy" is, who so cleverly read into the original message telling us to reserve seats first as exclusivity.
BTW, if you cannot read into my last sentence as cleverly as "froggy" would have been able to, I'm being ironic.
yes i've been glancing at the wordup debate ... it wouldn't be you stirring up trouble would it??? (i know you relish throwing proberbial cats into flocks of pigeons and then slinging bones of contention at them?) ... go along and BE NICE ... and let me know how it goes ...
Fishes of contention, Sharon, and cooked juicy ones at that :) point is if you want to charge something, you should maybe ensure the exclusivity of the thing that you charge for. I remember paying for a talk at a mall. I was under the impression that since they charged for it, it would be maybe in the exhibition center or something. But no they held it at a bookstore, and it was open to all. I remember how cheated I felt. The company's defunct now. So I was just saying, don't charge if you can't guarantee exclusivity.
And anisah, I've emailed you the list.
