Yeah, no lie! Toastmasters is all about the code of public speaking and it is
indespensible for keeping skills sharp when one gets to present elsewhere no
more often than every other leap year. But I've never seen the "LAME
Presentation All-Stars" at TM. They're the ones who sorely abuse the
audience with baaad Powerpoint slides. IMHO, that is #0 on the short list of
bad habits.
