It makes me wonder exactly who is in charge.
"The Bean Counters" sounds like a committee, but there's usually a person pushing these things. Do any of the regulars have any idea of where the pressure to give up began? (not that knowing would help)

I was only able to attend twice, but it was a wonderful experience each time.... some, like Charley Ipcar, posted images that made me 'almost' feel there again.
