My reasons are much like everyone else's. Cost is a factor -- the college doesn't reimburse enough of the total expense to make it practical when I have many other demands on my money.
General ennui with the STC, although the Conference has perennially been the greatest value-for-money event the STC does. I always got a lot more out of it than it cost. However, this STC tagline business makes we wonder what they're thinking in head office. <shakes her head> I have been a speaker at previous conferences -- I didn't propose a paper this year because of some uncertainty about whether I'd be able to attend. Turns out, I was right. Life got in the way this year. :-) --Beth Beth Agnew Professor, Technical Communication Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology 416-491-5050 x3133 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <snip> For those of you who weren't at the STC conference, I'm just curious why. Was it a money thing? A time away from work thing? A total lack of interest in STC thing? ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
