Hello Guys, Great MPC weekend! MPC is why god made weekends I think! I have spoken a few times about CSNS, and do not have too much more to add. Marv should have lots more to report on that. I was not there too long. Had some car troubles and other things. Did not even get the exhibit set up! Harold and wiz seem to have had a great time in Tulsa and I hope that they will share some of that here in the gram. [Guys, you can send it out separately or you can send it to me for inclusion in the gram.] Last night's chat was GREAT. Broken up a little bit by techie problems, but lots of guys and some interesting chat. Congratulations to the west coast for coming up with TWO participants: Tom K and Ed B. Tom, I owe you an apology, you have been a regular and yet I have been complaining that the west coast does not participate. It is your geofriends who are slacards! Kick them in the butt. Brad P has created a list of MPC people at egroups.com. You probably received info from them today. Seems like a good thing I guess. Because of his initiative, I got to thinking about the privacy aspects of the gram and have tried an experiment with this issue. You address was only included in the blind copy section so that it will not be available to the other recipents. At the moment, I think that everyone is comfortable with everyone else, but when we get over 10,000 gramers, there could be a problem, so I will give this a try. Brad thinks that I can or should use the egroups mpc-list, and it might be a better system. We will have to get some experience. Busted, yes, I was busted by ebay for selling free subscriptions to mpc gram! They zapped the ad. Seems amazing to me. Someone must have complained, but I cannot imagine who/why. But neither can I imagine any other way that ebay would have come up with it. Have not checked mail yet to see what kind of sanctions they may want to place on me. I am sure that it was a warning only this time, but it should be interesting. Darn, I thought that it was a clever idea and had some ideas for followons. Larry S reports that the deadline for Memphis Exhibit applications is May 15. Exhibiting is always a good way to spread the word about MPC. It is also a very good way at Memphis and other major shows to get credentials for early bourse entry! Try it, you will like it. I will put the deadline on the pmw calendar as well as other exhibiting deadlines as I get them (Joe please help) and I believe that Marcus is posting a copy of the application at pmw. Get your classified ads into Marcus. Well only 293 days till MPC Fest II. Have a great day. See you at chat tonight.
