[at-l] The Gathering

[atredhead at hotmail.com (AT r3dhead)]

hehe - not trying to start rumors - just bad memory I have. (I *am* getting 
old, ya know ;)) I took "A few people chose to have a group camp at another. 
These two things upset some people." and by the time i replied after reading 
the other posts, misquoted "upset" for "angry" :) I'll try not to do that 
again :p

But fortunately, a lot of the negativity that made its way into the business 
meeting was actually diffused by reasoned conversations at subsequent 
meetings. All in all, I came away from the weekend feeling like a lot of 
positive things happened - chief among them being able to clear up a lot of 
misconceptions and miscommunication. I do believe a few chips have fallen 
off shoulders :)
