Some were interesting to me, some were not. I posted comments to some interesting ones. This morning, it appears that all but one of them have been voted down or otherwise deleted. The post threshold is 95, and the hide threshold is -20. In a community where users keep the standard so high -- which is a good thing -- the balance seems a little off.

(Meta) By tps12 Wed Nov 27th, 2002 at 09:01:49 PM EST It's only two days until Thanksgiving, and less than a month until Christmas.

What are your favorite recipes when it's time to come in from the cold and sit down for a big holiday meal?

I apologize in advance for the crappy word-processor html. This document will ultimately be the basic platform which describes how the organization elects Directors and conducts business. It can be amended if that becomes necessary, but it would be better to think of as many contingencies as we can now and plan accordingly, hence this public comment draft. I suppose I could ramble on, but I think the document speaks for itself, so have at it.
