[nabs-l] Recording NABS meeting

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Aren't there other things, and other types of videos we can be doing to 
prove our abilities?

Isn't the purpose of recording a NABS meeting to provide our membership and 
others the content of the conference?

I just can't justify the expense, in order to prove a point. there are other 
efforts, real live person to person ones that we should be concerned with to 
preserve and improve our image.
