fyi, 

i am not writing anything without reviewing the transcript first - no matter how long it is - though the responses from the board to the scorecard are relatively short. maybe 2-3 hours worth of transcript yesterday afternoon and this morning.

being an eyewitness is great for judging the mood and the dynamics of the room -  that is what you can't get from a transcript of even an audiocast.  but to make sure i understood what was said, i will not rely on my memory alone.  that is one reason why i have not written my impression of mapo etc..

so yeah, it is long to read it, and that is why my 'substantive report' isn't done yet.

but i have a looooong plane ride tomorrow.
