Alright, Aaron, I'm going to count on you then to be an active
participant in the IAAI website.  Especially since I need people whose
views are often very different from mine, as a balance.

And this isn't just about endless debate, either.  I selected the forum
software specifically because it will allow us to share code.  Primarily
I want to share performance tests, so that we can provide quantitative
numbers as to which techniques work best (and run them on multiple
boxes, because there will be differences based on iSeries
configuration).

But a nice side effect of this feature is that we can also share other
kinds of code: specific techniques, little scripts we've found useful,
whatever.  That could help to start a small open source community.
