first: i am glad to see that that the $14,000 is just "chump change" to larry, otherise i'm certain it would have been mentioned earlier.

second: what the f*** is with dinner? i haven't checked here for a bit, and now i see all this "stuff" about it. and i see a comment about the low attendence. i suspect a number were like me and didn't even look here after we signed up and knew nada about a dinner to sign up to. i see alot of time and effort have gone in to the planning (and i can assure you that any who attended in the past REALLY appreciate it, even if we don't comment on it!).

dem's a few of my thoughts.
