LOL. Rather it seems obvious that all the other talks are academic in nature consisting of one pedantic abstracts after another but <b>the conference taken in entirety creating a form of crescendo of ideas</b> ultimately culminating in the one practical, marketable, usable device-- I did not see the <b>crescendo of ideas culminating</b> from ECT's attendance. <b>Ooops, that's right, they did not show up. I forgot.</b>
