Bruce,
I appreciate your backhanded attempt to get me to lay out for OO why they should open up the old SJC for a brief period in May. You are quite an evil genius. But, if I may, I'd like to address two comments that you've made.
How many of the old group could be bothered to show up here? There simply is no interest in this group, except for the few that are inside this group. Doesn’t mean I don’t love ya’all, but facts is facts.
People cannot contribute to this blog without joining, but they can send email via the link at the right of page. I do get emails from people saying they enjoy our blog. David Lim has a link to this blog on his website, have you seen it? It's a button that directs people to this URL. http://www.everest.org.sg/
The bottom line here – is the bottom line. If any publication, especially Outside could make money on this, they would. The fact is that they can’t, because the numbers simply don’t line up. And again, I’m all for remembering, “the way we were”, but I think Blogspot is a perfect venue for that.
Blogspot is not perfect in that people cannot contribute freely like they could on the old OO site. That's a hinderance, IMO. Jay still can't get on for whatever reason. Even though the old OO chat attracted a few trolls, it was also a great opportunity for anyone to contribute.
