Article resent. Thanks.

Regarding the roundtable idea, I know what you mean about the columnists having busy schedules. I thought of a possible solution around this. If a number of questions were prepared in advance, the Roundtable editor (I volunteer!) could call the respondants one at a time, chug through the questions, and record the answers. The Roundtable editor would then have to transcribe the answers, but after just a one phone call to each trainer, the material for 6-7 columns would be in hand.

The trainers who were interviewed would only have to spare time for a phone call, and the benefit for them could perhaps be given either monetarily or via a free Contact link to their respective training company or some combination of the above.

What do you think? Still not likely to work out? Just a dream of mine.

Thanks!
