    This is classic. We should have a hall of fame for this.

    What form should it take?
    Open floor debate, with Jack wielding the gavel and following Robert's Rules of Order, and everyone having signed the Chatham House Rule.

    Where should it be held?
    My apartment balcony.

    What social events should be included?
    Umm, croquet, three-legged race (ahem), square-dancing.

    I could imagine being pushed over the balcony, so no dice.

    Not if we all stick to forum rules. Give people the respect they may or may not deserve. Personally I would love to have a real time debate with you Gramps. Although I would prob lose, I wouldn't mind so long as we can swap ideas in a respectful way.

    Actually we could do something like that, a one on one debate about things between 2 volconvo debaters. Could be interesting to hear.

    What about me? I see how it is, invite the creationists but not the secular humanist!

    "Sir, I exist!"

    Wouldn't be a convention worthy of the name without you.
