In their absence, all the lurker-posters are missed, and we strongly encourage their participation.
Their participation is always encouraged but we aren't going to get on our knees and beg them to join in if they don't want to.
If they don't want to, that's cool too, and you're right, there won't be no on-knees-begging going on, because they bear some shared responsibility.
Shared responsibility for the record setting advancement of TFWG (or The FWG as some prefer) is one of the keys to our success.
Success is marked by the quantity and quality of our posts, one post at a time, but also by the way that people's lives are changed by the FWG.
Changed by the FWG (or TFWG as some prefer), our posters and contributors have gone on to lead better, more meaningful lives thus improving the world around them.
The world around them may be falling inwardly in sundry ways, but the FWG PowerWorld crew never loses their sense of humor, nor their humanity.
About one today, I was thinking about a nap, so maybe that's what most other people were considering, but they were apparently more action-results-successful than I.
More action-results-successful than I would describe a lot of the regular contributors to this thread which is why they always keep me on my toes.
My toes are a-tinglin' because tomorrow "Globe Trekker" comes on.
It starts there, and spreads.

FWG - actually "TFWG," or "the FWG" which are technically preferred, but we know what you're saying - are sticklers for respectfully calling the group what it is and using that article, and I only recycled DToTheJ's use of hyphens because some of us are nuts about ellipses.
Wow. That came out awkward.
Wow. That came out awkward.
Nuts about ellipses and a stickler for proper grammar usage are the hallmarks of a good game czar.
A good game hen would probably be more reliable than some of the regulars around here who seem to be shirking their responsibilities.
Are you all off watching an Olivia Newton-John movie marathon or something????

Hey, page #2116! They're playing my number! ;o)
The law of unintended consequences is not the same thing as Babbage's Law, which states that computers are never built on time.
[size=8pt]Charles Babbage, a British scientist and mathematician considered the "father" of the modern computer, started plans to construct a mechanical calculator called the "Analytical Engine". His designs for the Engine kept changing at a moment's notice, he was spending on it well beyond his budget, and it was ultimately never completed during his lifetime.
Consider another example, the ENIAC, which was started by the Department of Defence just before World War II to perform missile trajectory calculations for the war. It was finally completed in 1947, about 2 years *after* the war ended, and almost a million dollars over-budget.
Hence, Babbage's Law.
