After seeing some of the commentary at http://www.blogschmog.net/blog/?p=471#comments, I was struck by a flash of genius (at least I thought so): VillagePump.org. The domain is available. Rather similar to VillageEarth.org. Come to think of it, I like the VillageEarth name as well. If others like it, maybe that's a carrot to lobby for coalescence with that group? --[[User:Curtbeckmann|Curtbeckmann]] 15:45, 24 September 2006 (PDT) | After seeing some of the commentary at http://www.blogschmog.net/blog/?p=471#comments, I was struck by a flash of genius (at least I thought so): VillagePump.org.
