I choose option C, I don't think your current posts are as important worth discussing as much as some other current posts.

The sequence on getting people to work together is only interesting if you are trying to form a specific type of fractious group. A group that cares about the world in 20-30 years will be very fractious because predicting the future is hard and has no particular methodology (and most people get it wrong) so most people will have different ideas of the future and hence different strategies for what should be done now.

Edit: You seem to be in a filler arc at the moment where as other people are starting their main sequences, to put it in anime terms.

I like the current season, as it were :-) - I'm very interested in group organising stuff and I think it's important. I'm looking forward to the next season from the newer contributors - it often takes a season to find your stride...

I like your 'anime terms' explanation - I also pick option 'C', along with a bit of agreeing with Yvain.
