I must tell you, Wade, I was a little disappointed by Richards response to you on this as well. I chalked it up to the fact that he was travelling until I thought about it and realized that telling you _about_ it, rather than were to go to _do_ it, would defeat whole point.

But I'm also amazed that you can claim that workshops are more like seeing than doing, however.
