Hiya Bodhran,
Great to see another that heard the alarm clock. You're a lucky man to have someone around you thats on the same wavelength.
Regarding using the one thread, it's a suggestion open for debate and of course you are right, it would become a very long thread after a while. But the way things are going, it'll be a long while, as people are not commenting or sharing there thoughts. Your post was a bit of fresh air..keep 'em coming and maybe we'll get some ideas on how to proceed.
Is there anyone else out there with some fresh ideas on how to proceed?
The quicker we get this thing rolling then the faster we can have a meet and get to know each other face to face, 'cos time is of the essence.
