Because it was fairly obviously not in use that day -- no lights on it,
nobody else using it. One reason why the situation took me by surprise
was that I wasn't at that morning's session, and the lectern was in use
the previous day.

I sympathize, but I also sympathize with people who are irked by problems
in coordinating talk and foils. I'd made sure Geoff was going to be on
hand in case I did need a foil-flipping helper, but given a choice I do
have a mild preference for handling the AV myself.
