I know the moose is "Baywinkle" (how come eBay didn't get slapped with "copyright infringement" on that one?) but what about the little hockey-puck headed hockey player and the beaver with the "Smokey the Bear" hat? I was at "On the Road" in Victoria last night, and these three little guys are on my T-shirt which, incidentally, is an XL and long enough for a very modest nightie!

Malcolm, it was so hot in the auditorium that I didn't stick around for the end -- and there was someone there with a crying baby, which certainly didn't help the mood. Frankly, the best part of the whole evening was when someone's cell phone kept ringing after Daryl (or was it Carol) kept asking everyone to turn off their phones, etc! It turned out to be her own phone!! I was sitting at the back and I could see her blush from there!
As you had said, most of the presentation was pretty basic and the main thing I got from it was validation of what I'm already doing. I guess the fact that I've been doing mail order since before the presenters were born might mean I do have a clue about customer service? I wish they would have an afternoon "social" where we might have a chance to meet some of the staff and ask questions on a one-on-one basis but obviously, that's dreaming in technicolour!
The presentation was interrupted several times by questioners, some of whom were answered and some not but I understand that Michael "fenian" was there for the whole thing -- maybe he can give us an in-depth on the last part.

Michael, I ended up with both pens and both tees. I think I'll alter the tees a tad so I can wear them golfing!
"...if eBay pays attention to the FB sheets we left them following the sessions and what has been said on this board, they may set their meetings up a little different next time to permit further discussion amongst members and staff."
An hour or two session before or after (or even during) the regular presentation for just powersellers might be helpful, although I suppose there'd be a lot of screams about elitists and special treatment. Sheesh, the amount of fees we pay should be worth something besides this board, shouldn't they?

Thanks Carly!
Puckman and Beaver are not very imaginative names -- any plans for a contest to name them?
Looking forward to next year's new and improved "On The Road". I hope it's around the same time of year again so that I won't have to miss because of being "on the road" myself.
