SCN: On delegation, prayer, and prey

Actually, Steve, I think you meant that in our case, they _pray_ (not 
"prey"). A manager who delegates, then preys, would be more likely to 
work in a corporate setting wherein they appear to base prestige on how 
many subordinates one manages to chew up and spit out. (Most of us can 
name at least one of those...)

At least at SCN we don't resort to eating our volunteers. (We just tie 
them to email lists and hit them over the head with the same arguments 
year after year after year.)

Then again, I don't really know that someone's not out there consuming 
our volunteers. That could explain some of the disappearances. I always 
wondered what happened to Bob K.

There's a fundraising opportunity somewhere here. The SCN cookbook? You 
eat how you act, right? I bet I already know folks who could contribute 
a lot of flambee recipes, others whose numerous dishes would all start 
with the instructions "Muddle everything together until it loses 
cohesion," and still others whose meal suggestions would consist almost 
entirely of barrels of vinegar. Heck, we could have a couple chapters on 
nuts!

Must stop before I get even sillier. Happy new year, everyone!
