For instance, there were about 8-10 different mini-events at the POCA Fun 
Rally in Reno last year.   Each event organizer was tasked with generating a 
short artible summarizing their event, plus the Fun Rally organizers were to 
write a wrap-up piece on the banquet etc.

After a year of prodding, I got ONE submission, from Chris Kimball on the 
catamaran trip.   I have since given up--that year's Fun Rally will go down 
in history as not happening, basically.

forthcoming with plans to submit articles, although as of yet no articles have 
actually made it to me....
