    Why bother meeting in person?! Why not pouch up for some high-end ultra-comms relay with some 50 gigapixel webcams and all liquid diamonds in the screen and all with those gold wires and have a big referendumb *that way* instead?!

    At least I hope some of the delegates always pay up off-sets.
