Wow, does this group suck. It may have bloated to the three of us, but it just doesn't seem to be getting any traction :-)

So here's my new plan. We rename it to the "Ultra Exclusive, Really Cool Software Developers Group" and then we don't allow people to join or read it. I figure that we steal a page from Facebook and use exclusivity as the sugar to sucker, err lure unsuspecting coders into our midst.

Then we make them discuss really deep things, bending them to our will, and allowing us to take over the entire industry with our slaves, err followers :-)

What cha think?

"A page from Facebook" 

Nice turn of phrase there. :-)

Completely unintentional, but never-the-less amusing :-)

So what do you think of my master plan? Any day we'll rule the world now ...


Paul.

Big things only happen in odd-numbered years! Oops, next year is '13! Perhaps we have to wait till 2015.

But I am reminded of this bookmark service I saw once. You can get a lifetime membership if you are first to join at 1 cent. But each subsequent member has to pay 1 cent more than the previous one! 

Maybe we should have something like the first member of the group owns half the world. Next 25% and so on... (The 2nd member gets to decide which 25% of the planet is his)

Yea, that is awesome, but choice must go to whos first. I now own half the world and you've got a quarter of it. I call the half that touches water :-)

BTW: you're going to have to pay me for water now. Just so you know :-)

Paul.
