It was just a matter of time - a few weeks before Usenix, Henry
reminds us of how to speak to an audience, and someone responds
with the stuff Henry forgot to mention.  Just like clockwork.

Please note that I am NOT against these suggestions!  I, too, have
suffered through bad speakers, and I remember one particularly
scary occasion when I managed to talk too fast and had nothing
to say for the last ten minutes of a half-hour talk...

Perhaps Henry could write up something for the Usenix program
committees to give to the authors of accepted papers or put in
the "how to submit a paper" packet or something.
