I think the pub events are part of a solution. The dalpa guys have lives too. In general, I don't think anyone really takes issue with the LEC reps. Lately those guys have been really pretty darn good. The issue (which Denny touched on) was the crux..."did you think there was any spin"

Most people read these the same way. You pick up the spin, often, right away.

We are left with the sense that there either is no plan or the plan doesn't involve us.

Why is there any spin at all?

Be blunt.
