I don't usually post an entire commentary but I agree with everything Good Aine
says. Even though it's fun to tweak each other, the ideal of this list is that
we're a family who bonds and learns from each other. 

A communal pot-luck/display to the Knowne Worlde is terrific. Competition 
amongst ourselves is defeating. Showing off for each other is wonderful, maybe
even cooking, teaching, giving guidance. If we get together let's do it in the
spirit of comraderie, not competition.

Just another opinion.

Yers,

Gunthar
