For the two of you who are not able to participate next time, have you thought about participating in a behind the scenes way? I know members in the past who have helped other members during the GE when they didn't participate. Shinja was working behind the scenes with me during the last one I participated in.

And it really helped me a lot!! I know that numerous have used others to help out during the GE to make it special for their buddies. Just a thought! That way you are "participating" even though you can't participate.
