Born proofreader

The SLA advertisement-invitations for the upcoming conference have begun to arrive, including the ultra-desirable Lexis-Nexis Dessert Reception at Paul Allen's music museum. It's grating though, that the standardized email headers prepended by SLA read "Brought to by SLA." The proofreader in me winces each time.

Did anyone else look at this and think the Symbionese Liberation Army was hosting a conference?

Maybe the whole thing was originally moribund, and they are advertising the fact that they stimulated it back into consciousness?

I just read far enough to confirm that, this year for the first time, I actually got an invite to this, the most coveted of receptions. Woo! I have finally arrived. (Not that I haven't crashed it in past years.)
