Certainly the laws of nature dictate that at some time in the future there will
no longer be any Charter Members on this board. I ask now that SDMB, e.g. Creative Loafing Media, award a prize for the last standing Charter Member.

such as an hour at Charlie Rose’s table. Or be allowed to sit in for
Andy Rooney one time. There must be something…
I predict that everyone who dies will subsequently fail to resubscribe.
Of course, everyone who fails to resubscribe will subsequently die, but the average interval will be much longer (unless there’s something very sinister afoot).
