*laugh* Nope. That's just New York in general, especially after 9/11. You always have to either show an employee ID or sign in. They actually lifted security a bit for NY.pm, because you don't have to actually have a Morgan Stanley employee meet you at the door, as is the norm when visitors arrive.Re:Serious stuff..

What is the topic of the meeting?Re:Serious stuff..

You mean what *was* the topic of the meeting. It was last night. It was just a Q&A session.
(Guide for headline writers: the present tense, indicative mood ["Larry stubs toe during Geek Cruise"] is used for headlining past events, the infinitive mood ["Damian to switch to Eiffel after grant money runs out"] is used for future events.)Re:Serious stuff..

The initial submission came in and was posted the day after the event. I modified the headline to be accurate AND awkward, instead of merely awkward.:-) Re:Serious stuff..

O.k, by that logic, "What IS the topic of the meeting" is correct.
"Meeting is just Q&A session."Thanks.
