Thanks for the mythical man month memories. I think it was Twain who said
you can get one boy's work out of one boy, half a boy's work out of two,
and no work at all with three boys.  Judging by the writeups of BAGathons,
Spoonfests, workshops & c., this rule doesn't apply to galoots, at least
not always. Some are pretty productive, at least in a group setting.

curt, in cloudy and surprisingly dry Oregon, and just a few days left to
