    Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, but when is it the role of an organization
that has never had to earn a dollar in the business world, to host any
symposium that involves business and competition?   For those of us
struggling to earn a $100 here or there with own money, without having
a big trough of tax dollars to live off of, it is insulting for SEI
to be offering this symposium, unless they retitled it:

       How to have a competitive edge using tons of taxpayers dollars.

Geesh, they still haven't apologized for the business nonsense they
contributed to the Mosemann studies of Ada and C++.  If you go, watch
your wallets closely.
