Re: Just to make things interesting... ;-)
A light-hearted exchange about whether industry analysts attend technical sessions. Serge Rielau doubted analysts attend DB2 detail sessions. Mark Townsend said he met one at a DB2 compression session and another attended technical drill-downs. Ian Michael Gumby joked about DB2 talks being dull. No technical content.

The other one mentioned that he had been to a few of the technical drill downs, but generally he had more of a focus on the higher level message

Can you say Snooze fest? Now maybe if you were serving free pizza and beer, I'd might consider attending a DB2 technical talk.... :-) All said tongue in cheek, SFTITCTAJ... -G _________________________________________________________________ Internet Explorer 8 – Now Available.
