[Snowball] The snowballs thus far..

Hello everyone,

We have both snowballs rolling around, and it all seems to be going pretty
well!

We have 15 active participants so far, and some rumblings of more joining
in later on.

This is great!!  However, some potential issues maybe popping up.  With the
multiple groups, and snowballs... it becomes possible that we have a
collision between the balls with one ball moving slower than the other.
This becomes more of a possibility with more groups and more balls...

So... we have some options..  leave things, and plans, as they are and just
deal with it when it happens.  Or modify things by limiting it to two
groups and allowing them to grow as they will.  The larger group size
somewhat limits the chances of the smowball wrecks...  OR change things to
go back to just one big group with just one ball rolling through.  With the
last option, you can expect the ball to roll through at least once or twice
a year (with an assumed group size not much larger than what it would be
today and an assumed speed of around the same of what we're seeing today).

Opinions??  Ideas??  Complaints??

:)

Have a good week everyone!
