Just get a list of the people who were in, pick a restaurant, set a time, and get together. Well, it would have been easier to achieve world peace than it was to get the group to agree on a place, a day, a time, or on any other aspect of it. The thread went to more than 500 posts and ended in rancor, with many quitting and saying they no longer wanted to be a part of it. There must have been a civics lesson in there somewhere- how do you get a group of like minded people who refused to agree on anything to finally come together.
We did eventually meet and had a great time, but the thread has lived in hobby lore.

You're right Barry. Wilson had an easier time founding the League of Nations.
I've seen your name on the docs that you were on that panel too.
