Has it ever been considered? If not, then may it be now? We could pick a site that’s easy to get to (in the US) and spend a weekend thanking those of you who keep us in line and keep this MB going. The Holidays would be good for me. We could even have a “door prize”. For the guys: A slow dance with Tuba Diva. 🙂 I make this suggestion with all due respect of course! I have some time on my hands and would be willing to help organize this. Just e-mail me. Thanks Quasi ---

And who’s going to watch the boards while we all go run off and do that? Can you imagine the trolls and drive-bys that would have a field day THAT weekend? But, I nominate the weekend of the 21st in Las Vegas. 🙂 ---

…just good at having ideas, sorry!:)Maybe we could put the site on auto-pilot for that weekend? Or maybe the “head-honcho” himself could “watch the wheel” for a while, hmmmmm? Q ---

I’m bumping this because I think it’s a great idea. Quasi ---

Is this a nice poster trying to thank the staff, or some devious plan to have all of us gathered in one spot at one time, so that we can all be terminated more efficiently, as the first step in a plot to take over the world? There’s a reason that no two moderators are allowed to travel in the same public conveyance at the same time! Quasimodem, is your last name Blofeld, or your middle name Stavro? Do you have a white, long-haired cat currently purring in your lap? How many henchmen are currently hanging around your boudoir? ---

Actually, it’s fairly difficult to get us altogether in the same place at the same time. Probably the better idea is to send cash. ---

I doubt Coldie has enough frequent flier miles to cash in. He does have to come all the way from Europe you know.🙂 ---

Just a nice guy wanting to show his appreciation. Dopers everywhere are getting together, it seems, so I just wanted to see if it might be possible to put together a party in y’all’s honor. I did not realize that it would be a logistical nightmare! Sorry! Quasi
