		<description>So what are you guys impressions of the meeting today? They should&#039;ve told ppl how long the meeting would be so each person could&#039;ve judged how much time they&#039;d need voice their doubt/question... that way everyone&#039;s questions would&#039;ve been answered.. i&#039;ll blog on the meeting soon. But apart from that.. I&#039;d like to hear what others will be saying. Mahmood will do a blogposting for sure...

BTW.. Mahmood&#039;s blog was quoted at the start of the evening :) and was the CE stated among all the blogs/websites.. it was the best one that offered an intelligent debate... ;)</description>
