Thanks for dealing with that so ... thoroughly when it came up during
the ask-the-speakers session.  If Mel8ourne chooses to have that session
again, can we discuss a better format for it?  There were a couple of
questions I wanted to answer, but couldn't get a microphone in time.

Actually, one of them was Mary's question about what it would take to
get us to Melbourne next year.  I was going to answer "You had me at
'hello'".
