I like that idea, but I would want the questions to be the right ones. There seem to be several issues here -- alternating locations, using TIES, weekend/weekday, is the U any good?, etc. My view is this: Someone has suggested that TIES is a good meeting place, someone else has seconded that, so I think we should look into it. The guy who recommended TIES clearly has an axe to grind with the U, but I think we should ignore that and just try to decide if we like TIES as a meeting place. I would suggest that we have a meeting at TIES sometime (unless there is a good reason not to do so), then have a poll about meeting places once we've seen TIES. Mike
