"What good is a rendezvous if 4 out of 5 or more parties can't get to it?"

I have to disagree with that statement. The fact that 4 of 5 parties did not make it is exactly what made this rendezvous a great idea.

At first I was dissappointed that only one group made it, but after I thought about it--I think it really makes the trip. I don't remember Stumpy's original post, but I think it alluded to only the toughest will make it. Well---IMHO---The fact that 4 out of the 5 parties did not make it tells me the BWJ came out exactly as advertised. If more had made it I think I may have been more dissappointed.

I don't think anyone should be upset that they did not make it, but I think it gives the group that did it extra bragging rights and should be even more special to them. After all not only did all of the other groups fail---think of how many of us chose to not even try and were sitting at their computers while the others attempted to make it.

Congrats to all those that tried and my hat is off to the group that made it!
