Keith,

A number of years ago at an irrigators annual meeting I spoke with the
Director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture. She expressed frustration
at the number of non-productive meetings she had to attent. I suggested she
try holding the meetings in a room with no chairs. A couple of weeks later
she sent me an email thanking me for the suggestion ... it worked. :-)
