gasincider maybe you are right. The reason I didn't is because some people are not interested /bored of it so I thought pm-ing would be the best way :-). There was no intention of secrets and sorry but I don't understand about "you cannot attend bit" - I have actually written "I hope as many of will attend ". What I asked was "let's keep the number of questions down because 40 odd will mean only about 2 minutes for each question to be asked and answered and I'm sure you'll agree that that will lead to a lack of depth in responses to each question. Hope that clears it up.
