Yeah, I thought it was  a little odd. But, IIRC, there used to be one, and
you had to "sign in" to be eligible for the door prizes -- that was the
"CLUE lore" Jeff mentioned a few months ago. At the time I came by, nobody
was manning the table. Yeah, there were people behind it -- just the usual
collection of people hanging out talking by the door. I didn't see anyone
paying any attention to people looking at things on the table, greeting
them, asking what interest they had in IBM hardware, etc., which is what I
would expect for a "vendor" table. The attendance sheet didn't look like
anything other than that. There wasn't anything on it that said "sign up
to receive junk from IBM".

So, why did I sign it? Misplaced trust, I guess. This was a CLUE meeting,
after all.
