Hello everyone

Walked in the door about 8 hours ago from my London return trip - 20 hours
from door to door. I wanted to thank everyone who attended the conference,
with a special thanks to the great group of presenters. It was a fantastic
event, even though London was in the grips of a strange heat wave. We had a
very good mix of topics presented.

As with all of the past events, the evening get togethers were very
enjoyable. They gave those in attendance the opportunity to make new friends
and get reacquainted with friendships made at previous conferences. I always
look forward to the conference evenings and this past week exceeded my
expectations.

It was my first trip to the UK. I appreciate everyone who provided
suggestions and helped me see parts of England that I would surely have
missed.

Those who have not attended one of these events are surely missing a
wonderful experience. Each time, I meet more and more of our online
community. This alone makes it all worthwhile. Now when I read the posts of
the people who have attended the conferences, I can hear them speak and see
there body language. It really transforms the online experience.

In addition, I meet some of our fellow Excel-lers who are not aware of this
great resource. For these people, I tell them about the various online
communities available. Many will join our group.

Be sure to give them our usual welcome. I know they will benefit from the
fantastic depth of knowledge assemble here, just as I have. We are all lucky
to have this very valuable resource.
