Fluster-

I must say that your powers of observation and writing skills are excellent, and make for quite enjoyable reading.....please feel free to continue, as I think it gives an excellent description of the captain's cult and the current premie mindset...

Your descriptions of the event-- the first line or two of each talk sounding profound, only to dribble into spiritual fluff and outright bragging and materialiasm, coupled with m's endorsents for products is perfect, hilarious and for me so good to read from afar, rather than from my own attendance...

It's gotten so pathetic and slick and watered down, and all the time focused on him, that it's a wonder that people still go.....

But like you said, most of the focus was probably on gossip and socializing after m's talk, and that can be fun for some...

I talked to 2 premies who were going to Miami, and both of them commented on how they were waiting to catch up with old friends and go to the beach and a few good restaurants....never a word about the "the message" or propagation or anything like that....

Good work, and please feel free to share more while you're fresh with inspiration...can we take up a fund and send you to some more programs as our EPO reporter? (just kidding, I think..).....although I woud love to hear your reporting of going through the aspirant process and asking some really pointed questions about the big man.....

Interesting about m's crack about amaroo.....I heard that an April program was cancelled there because of the recent australian bad press....
