Actually, the first time you suggested the "guru is in" sessions, I
understood it exactly as described in this sentence. To me, this is
always Luzie sitting in her box with "The doctor is in" sign helping
Charlie Brown out.
IMHO Pier simply got the idea wrong. :-) So if you intend to do this,
I'd be happy to play "the Turbine guy" (as long as I get some beer. ;-)
