<p>Hi Amerie, <br>
</p>
<p>In this case "whoever shows up are the right people" only applied
to those who were invited. We did consider inviting some females
but since we were all lodging in one small AIRBNB (with 1/2 the
group sleeping on air mattresses, some in the kitchen, etc) alas,
it ended up being "all gentleman," by design, this time around. <br>
</p>
<p>It ended up being quite the spartan arrangement, 6 guys in one
small space. There was one bathroom, and lots of loud snoring- I'm
not naming names! <br>
<br>
Daniel<br>

<div>I wholeheartedly like, in fact love the idea that OST is
designed to subvert illegitimate authority. That your meeting
with Harrison was not orchestrated using the principles of OST
is the only reason that I am not taking umbrage at the
non-appearance of females amongst your party. I trust that the
principles of self-organisation would never have allowed such a
tragedy to occur. Yet alas, when other powers take the reigns
and so forth. I don't normally comment on such things, sitting
in the luxurious position of post-feminism and all that, but
seeing as the space has been opened for the conversation to
happen...</div>

<p>Wow.<br>
</p>
<p>Who likes the idea that OST is designed to subvert
illegitimate authority? <br>
</p>
<p>Who doesn't?<br>
</p>
<p>Is this subversive quality of OST a bug...or a
feature?<br>
