And when thy have an axe to grind they will let you have it. Overall, the comments were positive. Except for one thing...... It was clear that one of the folks (of course I know who) in the peer/other category was using a first person voice of someone in my department.

AIIM International - The Enterprise Content Management Association Bonnie and I went to NYC for the day today. It makes for a long day but it can be done. The show was bigger than I expected and I spent quite a bit of time there, so we didn't do anything else while we were in the city.
