>... but I don't recall it "fizzling" at all.

I assume you mean VLVL didn't fizzle. I meant the GRGR which was almost 
started a while back but, like one of Pokler's little eggs, wobbled above 
the launch pad briefly and then fell to earth. I was personally gutted 
because I wasn't around for the original GRGR. What's worse is that Jody, 
who jumped the gun by launching into a discussion of the first section while 
people were still signing up and no schedule had been drawn up, told me to 
'fuck off' when I suggested (along with others) that hosts were needed for 
each segment, at least just to keep the ball rolling, then after telling us 
we don't need no stinkin' hosts, blathered on semi-coherently for a while 
before disappearing from the list.
