Well, I certainly am not aware of any balls being dropped, so whatever that is
about remains unknown to me.

It seemed like a funny thing for me to say, guess you could say that my long
hours this week has made me a little batty.

I know from running my Hands On Meeting just how hard it is to get a group of
people together and make something positive together without one or two people
having to do all the work.  Given this train of thought, sometimes it seems to
me that we as a group could do way more then we do.  Of course I, like most of
us here on this list, have a full plate already. I can't really commit to
anything until I finish my grad degree.

So, I was not trying to offend, the long hours affected my brain, sorry.
