Hi all,<smiling> Well, we'd have to start a MOO or a MUDD if you really want a virtual pot luck dinner. I remember a birthday I had when I was running an educational MOO. There was cake and everything! People can be really creative with words and imagine all kinds of interesting objects. You find the MOO site and I'll be there with Elise's Chicken recipe. <smiling>

Hi all,
Well, there is a good reason why this list is sometimes chatty. Part of its purpose is to act as a vehicle for socializing. A group which is engaged in a common task needs to socialize in order to become a more coherent group. People need to get to know each other. The Saturday night chats help, but it is by reading this list, hearing what others are doing that cements the group together. Lone volunteers are fine, but they need a way to socialize. We can't have a face-to-face pot luck dinner, so we need to find other ways to encourage communication. Not sure what that might be, but something.
