David,

    Although this thread may not last much longer this time around, I have a
feeling we will be seeing it again as this issue and the issue of corporate
sponsorship and commercialism becomes more and more pressing in the field --
figuring out exactly how to draw the line between getting sponsors to help us
do what we do best and selling ourselves to corporate interests.

    I have learned an enormous amount from this thread and secretly hope that
it will reappear with new thoughts and ideas and both insightful and
incite-ful comments.

Cheers,
Kristen
