I hadn't thought about it before, but under Valerie's regime there has indeed
been a surprising lack of the real techno-geek systems in these weird
numbering systems. A couple, admittedly.
I *would* argue against the 1-2-3-many type of system.

Who can identify the following numbering system and give the next
few items?
G, E, L, N, J, J2, S, S2, K, K2, ...

I made a typo in #26; there should be a D between the N and J.

Oh, of course, now it makes all kinds of sense.............
Actually, that sequence looks damn familiar, but I can't pin down where I've
seen it.
I was going to suggest: O B A F G K M R N S
Anyone know the extra 3 for the above sequence?

Re 1-2-many numbering systems: No can use, because srw requested that each
agenda item have a unique number. Of course, we could always pare the agenda
length down to use only one "many". Meetings would be a lot shorter then.

Yeah, sure:
1) Bang gavel.
2) Financial report.
many) All the other stuff.

I just figured out remmers' pattern, sadly I'm quite unfamiliar
with the source and have no clue what the next letter would be.

Is it flip-flops?

Gregs are spectral classes for stars, but I have no idea what the others
are. He took all the easy ones. The others were added recently and I
don't remember them. (Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me Right Now (Smack!)).

Yep, Jan got it. The above are the 10 spectral classes for main-sequence
stars, there are 3 more that are considered "other" objects that
don't fit the main-sequence. The are Q, P, and W for Novae, Gaseous Nebula,
and Wolf-Rayet stars. In the above seuqence, our sun is a G type star,
G2v speciffically.
As for John's sequence, the J, J2, K, K2, made me think of flip-flops
too, but the other numbers don't make sense for that, so I don't think so.
(Well, this has to be some of the weirder drift I've seen in a while.)

popcorn, let me put it this way. I find it especially ironic
that YOU, of all the people in this item, haven't figured out
remmers' sequence. One other Board member should have the same
advantage in figuring it out that you do. (Am I being too obscure?
I can never tell... >8)

Hm. That might make it something New York natives would recognize, or
something Grex founders would recognize. But I haven't managed to place
it yet. <valerie stares and puzzles, but asks people not to give away
the answer just yet>

(If I'm right, it doesn't have anything to do with either of those.)

Something females would recognize? I think there are two female boardfolk.

I hadn't thought of that, but it's a good guess.
What helped me finally break the code was the realization that if
nobody else had figured it out yet, then it couldn't possibly be
a scientific or technical matter, since the folks in this conference
know such material backward and forward. (Note how quickly the
star-sequence pattern was figured out.)

If you don't like 1-2-3, how about: 0, 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22,
100, 101, 102, 110, 111, 112, ...

or 1, 11, 10, 110, 111, 101, 100, 1100, 1101, 1111, 1110, 1010, 1011 etc.

I'll repeat my sequence and add a few more terms. Maybe that will help.
G E L N D J J2 R S S2 K K2 C C2 E2 N2 E3 J3 P P2 E4 ...

Oops, I notice that I also omitted the R back in #26. No wonder
people are having trouble.
I hope the sequence is correct now, but given my track record I
wouldn't want to swear to it.

This is true. Still, of all the folks on Grex, why did the
Wiccan who's never read either Bible figure it out so quickly?

Forget what I said about the numbers looking familiar.
I never would have got that one.
