The panel was outstanding. I mean: better than I ever thought they'd be. ( I'd never seen two of them speak in front of people.)

Engaging, smart, communicative, human, fun... and dead serious at the same time. One always has reservations about "whistleblowers"; maybe there's something weird about them; after all... most people won't take that kind of risk.

Actually, no. They take the extra risk because they're more ethical than most people. And/or braver. At least in these two cases.

I'll post video when it's available.

No msm... far as I know... but a number of freelancers including one very well known print journalist. ( I'll pm you.)

MSM was invited but apparently didn't show. Screw 'em. We're making our own online media.

On the down side.. we needed a bigger venue. Some ( undetermined #) late arrivals were turned way by bldg security because our room had exceeded fire-code limit.

We're going to try to find-out who they are and offer an apology. It was hard to predict the turnout and we had a bigger venue "change it's mind" on us about three weeks earlier.

Two hours and we just scratched the surface. There's lots MORE where that came from.

Take care of that infection. It's the season. Room humidifier seems to work for me. Sleep with it on all nite.
