(Sigh. Looking for gold here, and there, and ne'er seeing those rainbows springing up from the mists, with the gold out there...so let's put up a pointer, frame the unseen, and otherwise look ahead to what may be!)

Okay! Let's take a wild swing, and say that the golden era of WRITERS is yet to come.

You, my fine hearties, are going to swing that pick, tote that bail, and build the wonderful, magical wizard of o...oops, that's another story, best told in technicolor (with the horse of a different color prancing the way!)

So, let's assume (for sometimes we must place our thoughts ahead of our aspirations, else we expire? Go ahead, breathe)...

1. What would mark the golden era of writers for you? What would be happening, what would the postings resemble, tell us a few of the subject lines and themes being traded on that day?

2. What are you going to do to make that happen? What mix of postings are you sending on that fine sunshiny morning? What responses do you make when someone trips over your clay feet? How do you act (or perhaps hold the reaction?) as you trip along those golden cobblestones, up to the tower of writing?

Go ahead. Dream the future for us, show us what lies ahead in that era of goodwill and fine workshoppery, and then spin us a path to tread that gets us there.

(and his name was Rumpelstiltskin! And he sneezed when he saw the hay?)
