We go around the table, and everyone gets an opportunity to tell the group anything they may need to know, though most of us have nothing. Since attention spans are so short these days, many feel the clock ticking (and the chuckles starting) and barely say anything.<BR/><BR/>Or, people *think* they have nothing, but later an issue will come up that we really did need to know!
