bin, what's your angle in pretending this irrelevant past event is somehow meaningful? You're kind of behind events also.

The Detroit gathering was being boycotted by virtually all prominent women leaders for good reason. And now faced with a huge disaster, THE ORGANIZERS ARE BACKPEDALING on their divisiveness, renegotiating and begging a few women with names to attend to save it. One or two are, for the sake of women, not the organizers.

And now it'll only be a smaller, totally needless disaster. I wouldn't attend if someone gave me plane and hotel tickets and seats up front.
