Until now, I had never appreciated how much I like strawberries and cream.

I Strongly Object, would prefer a smaller fee instead.
There was once a politician that was running for office and in one of his
electioneering speeches he promised "if elected
every one will eat strawberries and cream".
One person in the audience noted that he "did not like strawberries and
cream".
At which point the politician unphased by this remark repeated.
"Ladies and Gentlemen let me repeat that if I am elected everybody will eat
strawberries and cream and like them!
Doesn't the minority in 802.16 have some rights that they should not be
dictated to pay for "strawberries and cream" and like them, because the
majority likes them!

Dot16:
I've looked further into lunches at Session #13. Buzz Rigsbee, the
802 Executive Secretary, asked me to take a poll. I've agreed to
administer it.
The question is: What do you think of including lunches in the
Session #13 registration fee?
[ ] - Great idea!!! (could save me some valuable time, etc.)
[ ] - This could work; let's give it a shot.
[ ] - Not sure this is a good idea, but I'll try it this one time.
[ ] - Strongly Object, would prefer a smaller fee instead.
If you don't reply, I'll assume you don't care.
PLEASE email just me, not the reflector!
The deadline is Wednesday March 28.

P.S. If we end up bundling the lunch, I am encouraging box lunches;
this would give people freedom to eat when and where they want to.
