Chuck,

How much are they paying you for this?  ;)  I see this post over and over.

The main problem is that all of the BIG plans should have been in place and
ready to execute BEFORE announcing the iNation.  Isn't that how things
normally work?  Plan, then execute?  

It's not like the iNation is a movie and their web page shows previews for
it "comming this fall... iNation".  What it "feels" like is "Fine, we'll do
something, here's the iSeries Nation... now let us figure out WHAT we want
to do with it... and enjoy your free gift in the meantime."

All they would really have to do to really make a differnce is say "Here's
some great resources on the net that we are proud to be part of the iSeries
Nation, now go and be active with them".  ie Ignite400.org, Midrage.com, and
my favorite, RPGenerationX.com (I know there are others).

Brad
