Did this announcement need to be in every forum? Can't see new topics since every forum has a "new" post in it (this one).

C-ya there
Jayson

I was trying this new feature for the Admin....did you know you can have the messages from any forum sent to your email?

-=Mike=-

I almost never go to P4P anymore. I have every forum sending to me every new post. The unfortunate thing is that you have to set up each forum individually. Not only is it time-consuming but you also miss out when a new forum is put in place. Because I don't go to the site anymore, I don't know when new forums are created.
Regardless, anyone who cares what is said on this site, needs to have all posts come to them automatically.

Well... I'm a Systems engineer, so I only "care" about a portion of the questions posted here. I don't need, nor can I contribute to discussions about pricing, sales motivation or hardware issues, so I don't want an email when someone posts them.

I get the daily digest so I can see if there are new posts, then click one of the links that takes me to the site if it is relevant to me. Once on the site I rely upon the "new posts" indicator to show me if there's anything new in the other forums.

My appologies to Jason. I didn't mean to offend. I forget that there are members who are not in sales and this sight would not be near as effective were it not for people like you. Thanks for all that you contribute.

s'ok =) My reply sounded snooty, and I didn't mean it that way =).

You didn't sound snooty it's just your avatar guy looks really mad.

Can someone get a site plan of the hotel , so we can find a meeting place?

I went on line and went through a virtual tour of the Hotel. The only "very discript" place I could see that we could use as a meeting place is on the far side (harbor side) of the lobby. There is a bar there and a hald dozen or so tables. My suggestion would be to meet at the table under the glass chandelier.

I don't know when to meet because we don't have much of an agenda yet but we might be able to set it for 1/2 hour before the Thursday night Reception. At that time we might discuss whether some might want to sit at a common table at the "Exclusive Evening Event at the House of Blues".

I'll be attending Vision also. See you there.

Great idea Jim, I think the common table would be pretty cool. I also think meeting at the bar is a great way to start the evening.

I am going to be there by 2pm so anyone who wants to call up to grab a drink please do so!

We can bang out the details as we get closer.

We should post our cell numbers. 732.977.1211

I will not be able to attend as I had something else come up. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa Whaaaaa
Have a drink and smoke a cigar for me.

What time is the meeting slated for?

I'll be there Wednesday afternoon, someone call me!!!!

Did anyone get an email yet about Vision specifics?

No and I can't get a response back when I email. We are going pretty much blind this time.

Let's meet at 5:30PM for a few drinks at the bar

I remember my first time trying to meet up with you guys that I was walking around a huge room going table to table trying to guess whether this table was THE table and too embarrassed to go around asking like a lost puppy. That is why I went on-line and chose a specific table in a specific lounge. Are you sure there is only one "Bar"?

You were embarassed to ask, Jim? That sounds strange coming from a salesman. Usually salesmen don't mind asking anyone anything. Heck, we are probably some of the pushyist people on the planet. Jim, maybe you need to get out in the field more and knock on a few doors to bolster your confidence. (Ha-Ha)

There is a difference between asking tough questions and looking stupid doing it but you're too sharp to know anything about that. Are you going?

Ouch, I feel wounded...No, I'm not going. Wish I were. Have a drink (or 2) and smoke a cigar (or 10)for me...

If you feel wounded, you took it wrong. It was meant to be a sincere compliment. Sorry you won't be there.

OK, table under the chandelier it is!
