I wouldn't lose too much sleep over Elaine's post. She is basicly
"spin-doctoring" her image.
As far as we know, Morgan's name never came up during the meeting. As far
as we know, the "apology" wasn't an apology directed at anyone.
You'll never see a transcript of question-and-answer sessions after a
technical talk. So we are getting a manufactured "history", courtesy of
Elaine. I would love to have Tobias log on and tell his side of it. As
well as Wheeler comming on board and doing the same.
