One other thing, remember my response to Jason the other day? Well, he didn't get my REMOVE message (or do anything with it) and I got another piece of spam from him today. It says about the same things as the previous email, but one interesting new hook.

From Jason's email, "The event will include presentations by eight of the top providers of advertising technologies, solutions, and Internet sites, as well as two one-hour roundtable discussions that we call "pods."" So it left me wondering...if you attend one of those sessions are you a pod person?
