I, for one, greatly appreciate the effort you're putting in to this, Greg.

Whether or not Drew puts any stock in to the Tech Council doesn't change
the fact that a lot of small/medium businesses in the area use it as a
way to network and learn what's available in the area.

Personally, I don't think much of the Tech Council either, but I won't
deny that there are a lot of people who do.  I think Greg deserves a
well-done.

If you don't feel the Tech Council listing is worthwhile, you should
probably contact Greg about listings that you feel _are_ worthwhile.  I'm
sure he'd be interested in additional networking.
