<p>I've no idea if you were in Dakar. I was.</p>
<p>One person who was chatted to admitted she was a dress maker and
was there for the free lunch. She otherwise had no interest in the
conference - not even about putting up a web site to sell her
products. She was not the only one. Yes, she was a local African.
I take my hat off to the locals. They dressed well so easily
blended in. Actually, that helped give them away. Most of the
AfriNIC regulars wore T-shirts or more casual clothing and carried
bags or laptops.<br>
