I don't doubt that Dick has the contacts, but that is beside the point of whether or not he has a conflict of interest. Personally I believe that, sure, there's a Conflict of Interest, but it's also likely that any other hypothetical Speaker to Suits will also have a similar conflict of interest. So the question becomes: Do we want an official speaker to suits? My answer: Yes, probably. -- Piers, who doesn't work for ActiveState, The Perl Clinic or any similar organization.Thread Previous | Thread Next
