Still, I know many would appreciate them, including whomever is the proceedings recorder for your talk. I don't know if I got a chance to tell you that I enjoyed your presentation. It gave me a lot to think about. You probably won’t get a thousand requests for the slides since attendance was around 550-600 this year.

I don’t know if I got a chance to tell you that I enjoyed your presentation. It gave me a lot to think about.

It made me think about how we can keep so busy trying to provide access to our resources, that we lose track of the bigger picture such as turning our content to private profit making companies (kind of focusing on the tree instead of the forest). And I have to say it was thrilling to meet you personally! I really enjoyed your presentation and it did touch my paranoid nerve, as you said it might.

I am so stiff I creak when I walk. :-) Cliff, it's not really an academic issue per se. This may be my own approach, but if I'm employed by an institution that grants me "away" time to give a talk, and my travel costs are covered, I do not accept honoraria for these talks. It would be kind of weird if I did... like double-dipping. The exception might be if the talk involved a work product that was so separate and distinct from my day job, and created very clearly on personal time.

I'd love to hear more about why you turn down honorariums when you're "attached"--it'd be good advice for those of us who are just getting started in our careers.
