I understand, but consider these issues. Is the different level of "service"
acceptable? It can be demeaning and some may stop participating. Imagine you
come to the meeting and see your collegue with the "gold" fountain pen
whilst you have a coffee mug? May be I better talk to the pen holder before
I vote?
