I never can be SURE as I can't read his mind. As I see it, if he had nothing to do with PTI, then it would be ok to call a meeting and ask them to speak. But since he is half of PTI, then in some way he's advertising his business, either directly or indirectly. I'm not against them making a buck teaching PERL, if they can make money by making better PERL programmers, I'm all for it. However, I'm against being asked to give up my night and pay money on top of it to further his buisness especially since it was called a "meeting". Since it is at 8PM, I expect that most of the people who show up will be PERL "wanabe's", i.e. students and people looking for a job. How many working people have the time to come that late at night?
