For the meeting, I'm in for the 2nd, I can make that happen... I'm in St. Maarten and St. Barths for the week of Jan 17th - 24th, that is my only exception right now.
Aside of that, let's get a list going - who's gonna show and who's gonna stay "hidden" behind the keyboard!? There will be no limits as to who can come and what they can say - with one simple exception.
There will not be any personal attacks allowed during the discussion - period! Yes, that's right - I just appointed myself the "personal attack police" for this meeting!
We can debate the topic at hand - the speed limit, pro's - con's - good - bad - etc... We NEED to keep it productive and positive, there is no room for variation and wavering on that, agreed!?!? Know now - and I am sure we all agree - attacks get personal, you WILL be asked to leave, a "zero-tolerance" policy if you will. I'm not driving up there, taking a day away from my family and whatever else I might be doing to listen to bickering and petty BS grade-school-level name calling. I can log in here and get more than enough of that and not have to leave my house. Let's remember, it shouldn't be a "for vs. against the SL" thing, it should be a "how do we reach a compromise, and what is it" thing!
Remember, we are all adults (chronologically anyway) so let's act that way... I am willing to bet that before the whole SL topic became an issue, we would have ALL been able to sit down, have a beer and share stories about the lake - good and bad - and get along. I for one, would love to hear more about BI's stories of trekking around the globe, or heading into space, it's like the Discovery Channel, but in real life HD!
So - list 'em folks - location can still be TBD for now, but the general lakes region should be the locale - Meredith, Laconia, etc...
DoTheMath - I'm in.
hazelnut - you're in, you're always good for a road trip up!
Who else...?
