RE: Embarrassing episode with conference call

[Hal Lockhart <hal.lockhart@entegrity.com>]

Personally I have no concerns and I am probably as sensitive to this as
anybody. I believe this is the service Netegrity uses internally. I suspect
that the instructions may have been given for some Netegrity internal
concall where they (quite legitimately) wanted to make sure to exclude
competitors. Somehow these instructions got applied to our call.

Marc raises a good point. I would hate to see one party get stuck with the
tab forever. Maybe the companies could cover the cost on a rotating basis.
We would certainly be glad to pay for some of them.
