Speak for yourself. I never said we were a committtee of completely
clueless newbies, and I wasn't asking on their behalf as a figurehead. I
was asking in the hopes of getting more, different, or better ideas and
printing company leads and referrals than the individuals on the committee
can provide -- some of whom have done this exact same thing previously. I
didn't ask because I "had to", I asked because I wanted to. If we need
breakfast suggestions, I'll be sure and let you know.
