[TheForge] repeated , repeated, repeated content!!!!

Check the archives. We had a big ol' discussion about ABANA (mostly about the conference) when they announced they were cancelling the conference. Lots of brainstorming, hopefully it was passed on to ABANA (which I believe Dave Mudge did do so). However, there hasn't been a lot of feedback to us. So, I guess, there's not a lot desire to jump back into the discussion or maybe people are just taking their time mulling it over before they answer the call for more input.
