btw, today I read an article yesterday about Ratan Tata and how he institutionalized an annual competition for the best failed idea - and is quoted as saying the equivalent of "failure is a gold mine for a great company."  ...not counseling failure as the only and sure stepping stone for success, but you do get my point.  :-)

I passionately believe that we should give this idea our collective best shot - and try and see how we can do things differently from circa Oct-Nov 2010.  Much has happened since and I sense a degree of momentum that we can ride on.
