Furthermore, we could establish some kind of "scholarship fund," in which the more well-to- do posters here contribute to a fund that would pay travel expenses for those less well off, and even reimburse the really not well off for the couple of days of lost salary. Then the gathering would be pretty much like the Invincible America course. Those who really want to attend would have no excuse for not doing so. And those who *don't* want to attend, well...they can't very well pretend that they wanted to and couldn't, can they? Dare I suggest that, in the spirit of the IA course, we have some kind of formal application procedure? I propose that, rather than having to fill out a form and swear that one has not egaged in any Off The Program activities lately, each applicant will just need to stand at the doorway and tell a joke. If everyone laughs at the joke, the applicant will be admitted immed- iately. If no one laughs at the joke, the applicant will still be admitted, but everyone will know to avoid them if they want to have a good time. :-)
