[volunteergrid2-l] Hi

[Steve Dodson]

Roswell, NM; conspiratorial nexus of the digital universe.  Who knew? 
Jody makes a good point, but at this juncture, I'm inclined to value 
additional nodes higher than the complete mitigation of a "black swan" 
event (such as rain). The Roswell nodes would compose about 15% of the 
grid's population - which is probably a higher than preferred 
concentration.  However, I would be shocked if future node-growth in 
other parts of the world did not far exceed this area going forward. Put 
another way, I fully expect the concentration percentage of Roswell-area 
nodes to drop as VG2 expands.

I second Shawn's membership motion (as such) to admit Benjamin and Aaron 
conditionally, Eugen and Eric without reservation.  Is a formal poll 
necessary or should we simply allow a few more days of "debate" before 
the motion carries?

post scriptum, As an aside, what sort of bounce did the bigpig logs 
reveal from the "Slashdot Effect"?
