It is clear to me that there are a lot of smart people here who have a lot of knowledge. It's also clear that there are different ideas about which pursuit is best. Lastly, there are different ideas about what our core group was responsible for.
I want to post this to ensure that no one can say, after the fact, that "such and such group should have done this or that". No monday morning quarterbacking! If you have knowledge about a process that you believe will help us, Go for it! If you know something but need a couple of other people to help (someone who lives in DE) then get them onboard! We lose nothing by this, and the core group has made it clear that they have no objection.
The other side wins if we get so caught up in infighting that we neglect to take action.
