Please capitalize the S and V.

If you don't have a handout for System Values, you're dead.  The point of
the talk is to:

1.      Introduce the information (as located in the handout).

2.      Provide an entertaining 89 minutes.

3.      Demonstrate the capabilities of the AS/400, which you might not
otherwise be aware of.

There are many attendees of System Values that take copious notes.  For
them, eliminating the handout would be a big problem.

There are many potential attendees who arrive, find that handouts are gone,
and leave accordingly.  The dependency on handouts is a part of my speaking
style.

If killing trees offends you, I'm sorry.  If you feel that the session
should be cancelled, please inform COMMON of such.

If you don't like my speaking style, I'm sorry.  Please complain to COMMON,
and my sessions could be cancelled.

Otherwise, don't bitch about System Values.  I spend the entire weekend
working on it, whereas I could have taken my kids to the beach.
