very good Lorenzo... I thought someone... that being you.. needed to lay out a schedule.

Sure I'll do it... but...

Mike hasn't done one since the second IIRC... Nickie and Shadowy haven't done one yet period.

If either of them want to do next week.. they should.. if not I will do next weeks.

I have no problem waiting until when Lorenzo has scheduled me. As long as everyone else is in agreement, I think we should stick with the schedule that he posted earlier and end the confusion over it. Micky, if Lorenzo wants you to host 2000 more of them, that's still okay with me, as long as there is a schedule to follow.

Lorenzo did ask in the first post "3) Is there any other forumist who is interested in joining the team?" I offered my services and got my chance.

Yes Greg you are in the team. If you want You could open your poll in the beginning of September. The list I have written ends in August but then we have to decide who will open the poll in September and so on.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Just thought I'd post the history of the Interactive topics so far (in order of poll start):

1. It's so first that it doesn't even need a numerical designation in the title. this had yet to become a series, but it's now the first one in the series.

* Tapfret's I think was intended as a related event and so not canonical to the series and therefore not numbered, but I think of it as part of the same series.

The numbering went wrong, mine should have been nine, or ten if you include Tapfret's, or 667th if you count it another way. Umm...

So what number is the next one? 10, 11? I guess if there is no 9, then we can assume that 7 8 9. Ate is my favourite number. Oh I forgot Micky did 9 for Shut Up. Funny order, so the next is 11, or 12 depending on. I'm glad this series won't just go up to 11.

By the way, I would like to offer to do another one in the future. I think I learnt a bit about what would work better from my initial attempt.

Your initial attempt was pretty awesome. Bettering that is hard. Clap

^ Your schedule and my turn's place is perfectly fine by me, Lorenzo. (BTW, I loved your move to include Grumpyprogfan. Very thoughtful and kind of you.)

I think it might be a good idea to have YouTube playlists of all the songs we have submitted in the various polls so far. Once they're ready, we can post the links in a dedicated thread. It would be a great way to expose people to new music, even if not necessarily prog. The prog discussions on this forum have been stale for a long time, but there's life outside the boundaries of what most people consider "prog".

I can volunteer for that since I've got a few playlists together already. And I can merge that in with Logan's excellent summary of poll links:

I started making playlists for myself with the week before my poll, so there are playlists from Latin America on, and I just made a playlist for the first one. As I have time, I will add the other playlists. I can start a thread with this. Maybe it can be stickied.

^Thanks for setting up the poll links. I forgot to credit you for those and fixed that in the links thread.

Or, if you prefer, you can take the place of Grumpyprogfan (He wrote to me he wont open the polls)

Okay. That's fine.
