Well, shallow water's fine. Deep water hides things. Terrible, dark, cold things.Quote:

Told you so.
EDIT: I had a chance to snorkel the reef off Cozumel and its this wonderful reef with big columns of pretty things and fish and everything and then, beyond an almost wall like structure off to the left, there's <shudder> endless dark.
Due to the recalcitrance of people like you, nothing much, as usual. However, teleconferencing sucks. There are reasons why people don't do everything by teleconference.Quote:

Not really. You think that by getting 50 heads of government in the same room they actually solve the world's issues? Or the civil servants etc actually discuss and shape and basically make the deal beforehand over telephone etcQuote:

So you agree with me just don't think its relevant? Funny, I thought this was a thread about a conference that not only is not achieving anything but everyone knew before hand that it wouldn't ... so it is an on topic discussion.
Where do I say that? Is it too much to ask that some asshole not put words in my mouth in every single thread?Quote:
