Aaron and list - my last message went out before it was complete.  The  heat 
from my hands sometimes triggers the touch pad.
 
I agree that it is nice to have a full transcript of the national  meeting.  
My question is similar to others - did the video company get  paid a fee, and 
then harvest a $150 per set profit on top of the recording  fee?  Again, 
normally, I'd expect to sign a release - that's when I  would have asked these 
questions.
 
FYI, it only costs a couple of dollars to make copies of a CD or DVD  set.  
Now, if the video company did this on video spec, then they  will have 
equipment, travel, and salaries to recover, and fully I  understand the charge for 
each set.  If their expenses were paid, then I  might question the cost of the 
sets, although I would have no objection if  the money were to go back to the 
bee associations where it can be put to good  use.
 
Also, I've already had some fallout from the recording.   I've folks who 
listened to audio in the absence of the video and  slides, then drew erroneous 
conclusions about what my group said during the  Commercial Beekeeper SIG.  One 
of these is causing us some  problems. 
 
If this meeting is going to be recorded, all of the presentation (images  and 
audio) should be provided.  Maybe the CD/DVD is complete - I haven't  bought 
it.
