Er... First I stuck my neck out to post my trip report. Then I read comments
about how a trip report really should contain "benefits to the company," not
just recaps of individual presentations. Finally, I read this from Michele
Marques <mmarques -at- cms400 -dot- com>:
>> I expect a junior employee to focus on

>> Although I would expect a more senior employee to come back

>> necessarily expect these ideas to mentioned on a report posted to
>> techwr-l.
Now I must reveal that I edited down my trip report (imagine it as even
longer 8^). I'm not sharing my comments or short- and long-term plans with
you guys. But I did have them! Honest...
