It amazes me how such an intelligent person can be so far off base and such complete horses ass at the same time, Willkie. That description fits you like a glove. I will not debate you or your shrewish tongue on this list. I believe this list should be save for more professional things than your berating people who don't like or disagree with - especially when it has nothing to do with technology. Go ahead and get your last word in - I have better things to do.

If the past is any predictor of the future, you won't be there Last year, we moved the event from the initial, tentative night to the one you preferred at your insistence, and as a result, people who planned to attend weren't able to do that. It was held at a place that could easily accommodate your scooter, then, on the appointed day, you bailed. Must have had something better going on than supping and discussing things with us mere mortals. I seem to remember that you also did basically the same dance the two other times I attended an OpenDTV event, but it's possible that you were at the first event and I just didn't trip over you. Heck, one year, it was just Steve, Craig and I.You are trying to mislead everyone: last year, you asked me to give those assembled your regrets. I won't respond to your jibes on this list, but don't be surprised if I have a different posture in person. And, let's be clear: I wasn't interested in buying your road show last year, and I won't be interested in buying it this year either.I can say that we didn't talk about you much last year, but everyone had a good time, and ample opportunities to lead the conversation.And, if you try that trick of asking me questions about transport streams, PSIP/PSI, or even ATSC M/H so that you can evaluate a competitor's offerings, I won't answer until paid in cash, in advance, at my customary hourly rate (it's listed on my web site.) Even if you get angry and call my cell phone 8 times in a row (like in August 2008) trying to get the last word, I won't relent.II hadn't experienced a scene like that since junior high school, and it was quite weird then. I think I also received the calls back then, but time might have morphed that meme.Note how you can taste a bit of the acid tongue while I am relating real events in a rather neutral manner.This should be fun!John Willkie------------------------------------------------------------------------*De:* opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *En nombre de *Larry Bloomfield*Enviado el:* Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:42 PM *Para:* opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Asunto:* [opendtv] Re: Not going to NAB?I would cancel everything else just see see what a Willkie looks like.
