No...we'd jump to IHUB and enjoy THEIR beer and pretzels for a few years!<G> Some how your remark reminded me of a city initiative in Philadelphia years ago to relocate skid row. They wanted to turn the current skid row into a tony part of town. I had a vision of buses arriving loading up a bunch of guys with their bottles in brown paper bags and newspapers. Then I thought, geeze what happens if they decide to relocate skid row to MY neighborhood? I mean how do you relocate an informal gathering of drunks, bums and riff raff?

No...we'd jump to IHUB and enjoy THEIR beer and pretzels for a few years!<G> So THAT's why I keep restocking the office fridge and it keeps getting emptied out.

Bet if I cover the fridge door with the Classifieds, my beer would last longer. Still trying to figure out whether or not iHub and the CFZ would be like oil and water. As long as we can keep the door shut on the party and it doesn't spill out into the halls and into other rooms, it'd probably work. Hmmm... If the partying gets too rowdy and vandalism starts spreading to other rooms, limit the top 10% of CFZ posters to 3 posts per day for a few days? Lots of programming ways to handle that stuff. Although none of that would be needed, as well-behaved as we all know this group is. After all, had you guys descended on iHub en masse between Sunday and Wednesday of this week, you would've made the servers scream for mercy and deliver speed comparable to, oh, let's say RB.
