Help us understand your needs by joining this session, NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH SEMANTICS IS NECESSARY."  It's not quite as catchy, but the "ultra-cool" tag can sometimes be misinterpreted for "yeah, semantics causes nose wrinkling in some quarters and you guys are trying to put lipstick on it".  For the record, I dig semantics, but just sayin'!

I support this friendly amendment.
