lol The rest of the attendees have barely arrived home and the thread has
already burned out;-)
We did have a great time with the LD personnel and amongst attendees
ourselves. I really enjoyed renewing old acquaintances and meeting others F2F
for the first time. What a quality group of individuals!
We do have reason for optimism because the trains theme has not been
forgotten. Neglected maybe, but now more than ever we need to direct our focus
towards the future. Although we are under NDA, I would say that we know a lot
less than many of you probably suppose, so asking for any kind of details
really is fruitless. What is most important is that there is definitely a
dialog in place. And it is ongoing.
