I didn't reply to this thread because I knew I had no additional time to become involved in anything too major, not because I didn't think it was a good idea.

Birte and Lloyd, I always enjoy your posts, I recognize your wit and identify with it.

I understand what you mean about the place being so research oriented. This reflects the progression of people who have been here awhile, as well as a new group who are research oriented.

This should not stop you or anyone from posting other types of threads or collecting them. This forum belongs to you as much as it belongs to anyone.

I guess what I am saying, is when you have an idea, you have to be the one who works it, as some of us are already very committed.

Lloyd, this forum can be a tough sell. [sell used rhetorically] You will find your biggest critics right here sometimes. Groups and ideas have sprung out of it, but I haven't seen too much collaboration within it in terms of publishing. That's no reason why you couldn't be the first.

I hope those of you who are interested are the first.
