Conference feedback

It's not the first time that I'm annoyed about the fact that poeple pose as "outsourcers" that are obviously freelancers or individuals seeking work and/or promoting their services rather that being agencies or real outsourcers. Why is this not monitored by proz.com and relevant posts deleted?

I loved the session on interpreting with a tablet and also the one about the Burmese language. I took the time to review my Proz profile too! Thanks for your professionalism!

Hi Henry. I am the guy living um Portugal with 20 years in aviation that you mentioned in your presentation. :-)
Thanks so much for putting these great materials together for us. I am surely becoming a paid member soon and will tell some friends to do the same, as it is really worth the buck. Congratulations for success of Proz and keep up the excellent work you guys do!
