Kate, I remember you. I also remember that you attended two meetings out of
dozens. I believe incident in question happened on a meeting which you did not
attend.
Furthermore, it was never an overt "get away from Andrew" type of thing. It was
the statements of one or two people who (either purposefully or not)
discouraged people from attending.
In retrospect, it was a pretty small thing and I don't really think much about
it. But, while we were discussing this whole topic, I was reminded of that
incident and it seemed to fit a certain attitude I see a lot in STC. That
technical training isn't important. And that attitude seems to manifest as a
form of discouragement.
