However, that does bring up an interesting little point. You, in your
usual style, fail to stop and consider what, if any, implications the
event has, focusing on the trees instead of seeing if you're in the forest.
Here's a question for you to cope with: how about showing us that this
wasn't simply a low-key "trial" event to judge whether there was enough
interest in doing it again, but on a larger scale. While you're at it,
how about showing us how other places, other organizations, aren't going
to see this event and duplicate it, on smaller or larger scales.
All you've got to spew is that one event was reported, not that there are
no other events which weren't reported, or which might be coming up; you
have nothing to say that just because something was tried on a small scale
that this is as far as it will go. Hell, you can't even tell whether that
40 people was 1% or 100% of the "customer pool" marketed to, so you have
no idea how popular such conversions actually are to people, what sort of
impact the ability to do this can have in the long run.
Of course, you feel free to spew forth your conclusions as if they mean
something and call people liars while demonstrating your fundamental
cluelessness, but hey, that's okay, right?
