[ILUG] SPAM - Arguments and strategy

[ILUG] SPAM - Arguments and strategy

Thats exactly why I was suggesting that we group together and refine our 
arguments. We should be aware and able to counteract any arguments that they 
may throw at the PRO or other, like the VIAGRA example. Thats all I am 
saying. 

Yes agreed you point out, but we must remember that these guys spend their 
day in meetings with people who want one thing or another and many of them 
have large companies or interest groups with some finances if not the 
national debt of Bolivia behind them. So we got to go in there utterly 
professional (Not that I am suggesting otherwise or that there is any lack) 
and kick ass.

Thats just my opinion though. Its better that we pick holes in our arguments 
rather that letting them do it. Also if the meeting is due soon I think this 
should be a high priority for every member who is interested. But these are 
just personal opinions.
