Re: Orlando Conference and Exhibits (rambl

[Michele Davis <mdavis -at- bitstream -dot- net>]

I'm sorry, but I disagree. The vegetarian dishes and I've said it 2x now,
SUCKED. Now, I'm a restaurant quality chef, or so all my friends, husband, and
kids all say, so maybe that makes me biased. The portobella mushroom sammie was
atrocious.

An aside, I spoke at 2 sessions and this was my first conference for STC I've
attended. I have written a diatribe for my local chapter about "Presentation
Do's and Do not's," check my web site in a couple of weeks to see it!

My other comment Janice, is, I'm assuming you're a writer, but in your sig file
you say:
"The only connection Sun has with this message is the return address." I had to
ask my husband what that meant, and he said "that means that SUN doesn't endorse
her opinions." I said, "well, why doesn't she say that then?" Clear
communication is good communication, and if as another writer I don't understand
what you're trying to say, what would a neophyte think?
