  Evan Leibovitch:The Beijing PF was a joke and apparently little was changed.
  Carlton Samuels:@Evan: The intent is to make it more manageable but not a total shutout
  Carlton Samuels:as well as to give the CEO a headsup for answers
  Carlton Samuels:Recall the problem was the questions off the cuff could hardly be 'answered'...except 'cautiously'...which is usually less than useful
  Evan Leibovitch:In order to not be "flat-footed"  them, questions for the PF could be submitted the day before. Not three weeks before.
  Alan Greenberg:Evan, this was not a call for question, but for the broad topics (ie 30 minute or whatever groupings)
