US zones.........................

Those would probably be in the lead for the number of threads started,
but the longest single continuous thread I can recall in urg was 'A
Philosophical Approach' in 1996/7[IIRC]. Another long one around that
time was the great Charter debate, though that split into several other
threads and finally fell apart.

"It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to
arrange, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to carry through
that initiating changes in a state's constitution."

Niccolo Machiavelli.

Just so. IMHO Mach the Knife would have seen urg as a complete
vindication of all his works and theories.
