In business you only need to "slay the monster" once!
Though i greatly respect you ihash, i think you are missing my point.
This threads goal is almost satisfied. From what you are saying, the other channels available should have had one heck of an incentive to use their lead to gain the brownies. Unfortunately noone from those channels chose to represent those groups here until now...after others stepped up to complete the quest. It needed done and it is almost done....but that doesnt mean its impossible to win if those two platforms are as far advanced in completing the mission too.
Maybe you should be the one to rally them?
And p.s. in tech businesses efforts are often doubled for security reasons...this is the case here as well. Multiple channels are going to be very good to have, but we still need one where bm can get in contact with all delegates.
