How often do you forget stuff instantly?

[Aloysius]

Question - in professional situations, like conferences, client meetings, intra-company whatever, does ever forgetting a name come up? That was the main motivation for me to try and remember. Also I think it's a bit rude to forget people's names (I am a bit of a nit).

I find I don't have to do the "repeat a name" trick, just requires a touch more focus upon introduction.
