I gave in my health card and was asked to be seated. B eing able to retrieve the data is more important than an organized alphabetized file drawer.

Sadly, this is the conventional wisdom on networking: talk about yourself with as many people as you can for just long enough to hand out your business card in the hopes that some of these seeds will sprout, even without watering. What has money done for the world? Some bad, mostly good.
