   Wouldn't it be interesting to see the results....meet in a centrally located city in the US. Too bad times are so tough. It would be fun.

      Heck, I didn't mean a convention limited to US citizens only. One for everybody! Could have one in the US, one elsewhere. For every country, then. Thought it a cool idea.

      Maybe each City could have their own little Convention first. That would be a nice starting point. I have a great backyard called Central Park.

    Maybe hubbers that live in different locations to agree to meet informally, or something of the like.  If any hubbers live in the San Bernardino/Riverside area, for example, it might be cool to get together at a local coffee house or something.
