[font "Times New Roman"][#005000][url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url]Well-said gentlemen on both accounts. Having been in the business world and retiring from same it goes without saying that if the sponsor(s) are paying the way, they deserve the only spotlight. Coca Cola would be upset and rightly so if they were sponsoring an event and found a spokes person interviewing someone on TV who was drinking a Pepsi. I think that the audience recognizes these conditions and readily accepts them. What they don’t accept is a phony front. Like “all my life, I have never drank anything but Coca Cola”. If it is not true then don’t say it. Most sponsors if not all provide guidelines and they expect that the participants conform to them.[/#005000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 2][#005000]With reference to the BFT format I certainly agree that it is a very fair forum. Everyone is made to feel comfortable in it’s environment. Very few places that I have visited makes one feel quite at home as the BFT.[/#005000][/size][/font]
