SR - principality playmates

It wasn't the concept that bothered me so much as the language. "Reject" is
just such an icky word to use when talking about friends, practicality or no.

Why doesn't someone drop Mendersham and Bonwicke a note and just see how
they feel about the *possibility* of joining in? Bringing possibilities up
doesn't obligate anyone to anything, and I think it would be interesting to
hear their take on the matter. The only concern I'd have about including
the western region would be that, while Bonwicke is a healthy jog off,
Adlersruhe is just way the hell and gone up there. Are they maybe closer to
places in the Northern region? Who do they play with most? And while I'm
all for strength in size and healthy diversity, I'm a little reluctant to
want to go *too* big. I think right now we're better off to concentrate on
discovering what our southern region wants and go from there. Hey, Dieter,
how goes the straw poll? Let me make the suggestion that each of the groups
here in the south introduce this discussion in their next business/populace
meeting so we can start getting some feedback from folks not on the list.
What say?
