The weather disaster from early in the week apparently still has the national system of air travel in a tizzy. Good luck to those traveling from Boston to home.
By the way, I've already had several offers to register a domain name for "American Society for Philosophers" (ASP.org) and build a website. I claim no property in the idea of such a society, and so invite anyone so disposed to put in the work to pick up the ball and run with it.

Did anyone check to see if that domain name was already taken? Guess not. The American Society of Pimatologists (ASP.org) has such a nice website, it would be a shame to push them aside.
AmSoPhil.org is free.
So is AmSoPhucked.org.
What about "american society of philosophers"-- asop.org?
"and so invite anyone so disposed to put in the work to pick up the ball and run with it."
This is precisely why it will never happen.
6:08, No. THAT is why.
I sense a showdown with the Austrian Society of Prestidigitators....careful, they're a wily bunch. One time they took my entire glass of milk and poured it into a top hat. Then I got cancer.
I am disappoint.
This proposal ignores that there is nothing wrong with the APA that couldn't be fixed by 1)spending more money- the APA is one of the least expensive and poorly (in terms of numbers) staffed professional organizations, but the members already cry that it's too expensive; 2) having better members. The APA really just is its members, and given that the members of this new group would be the same sorry bunch, I doubt it would be any better.
I'm with 9:43: the APA could clearly be improved by making it better.
...and the ASP will put the Eastern APA job fair out of business by hosting another conference somewhere else at a different time during which face-to-face pre-campus interviews are discouraged. Ah, the invisible hand of non-competition.
Yo! Dude? Where's the philosophy?
8:09: ask your mom.
