For the 95% who may not have been on the board for the legendary NYC dinner thread:
About eight years or so ago, a bunch of us who live around NYC decided to get together for a dinner somewhere in Manhattan. I started the thread and it seemed easy enough. 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.
