I've always been bothered by West's practice, in the last few years, of
mailing out buttons for us to wear at the conference. I understand that
West reps have been handing out dollar bills to any conference attendess
spotted wearing the button? I've refused to wear the button; that was just
too much for me to accept. Maybe we should return the buttons when we talk
to the reps at the booth.
