Because then you start having crappy presentations like the one in question. The BYU ACM is a perfect example. Most of their presentations are advertisements. If I want to watch infomercials, I'll turn on the TV (and turn off MythTV). That's why the companies offer pizza--it's the only way people will come. In contrast, the UUG is free to have meetings on whatever topic it wants, and it's free to laugh at infomercialists with their pizza as sodden with agendas as with grease. That's why I have no respect for the BYU ACM, and that's why I'm glad there are people like Stuart to stand up for my freedom to participate in an awesome club like the UUG. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
