Just to be clear I was refusing to record it as a joke. I wanted Matt
to show up. I have no problem with recording in general. When I has
video taping the meeting I would ask the speaker and one ever had a
problem. I stopped video taping the meeting because it was more
trouble then I wanted to go through and I did not have the time to
transcode and upload them afterwords so I ended up with tapes and or
files that never went anywhere.
