I went to one meeting...

R.L. — 2/1/2006 2:39:13 AM (archived)

I was invited- I found it terribly annoying and never went back... the meeting I went to was a lunchtime meeting- two older people dominated the meeting with silly arguments... They clearly hated eachother...

The rest of us sat there disgusted- from the other posts here, others had other negative experiences along the same lines...

For now, the HZ is my Mensa club- of course we have to deal with people like you and Bowser, but over all the company is pretty good...
