Real\n   time participants will be limited to 12. \n\n-> It should cost something like $50 for online participants. I am\n   sure if there should be a limit to the number of online participants.\n   Any comments?\n\n-> It is arranged primarily for the writer's convenience. All of the \n   writer's transportation, food and hotel costs shall be paid. It  \n   should not cost the writer one dollar to participate in this\n   symposium. If after expenses are paid, there is some cash left over,\n   it will be presented to the writer as a nominal token of gratitude.\n\n-> Discussions will be reduced into articles or books in a way mutually\n   agreeable to the writer and the entity doing the symposium, marketed\n   appropriately, and any proceeds split fifty-fifty between the two.\n\n-> Topics for each day's discussion are at the writer's sole discretion.\n   The writer may do as much or as little as they please by way of work.\n\n-> One fine meal, either a lunch or a dinner, will be served to\n   participants each day. The writer, of course, has all additional\n   meals and those of his spouse paid for.\n\nAny further comments? Anything else I need to say that I am not saying?\n\n\n\n\nJ.\n\n___"
