		<description>Nice note about meetings.  I&#039;ve been in so many pointless meetings... used to drive me nuts.  

Good point about the documentation.  I use a software called meetings sense (http://www.meetingsense.com) which has automated the whole process.  It also gives the option of setting a firm agenda to stop the soapboxers in their tracks :)</description>
