Don,
I think that is precisely it. Looking forward is everywhere. If i had to guess, Looking Forward is more of a networked entity than any one person. Looking forward is the conversation you have with your friend from team ###. Looking Forward is the advice you ask of team XYZ when you want to do a drivetrain similar to theirs. Looking Forward is your Post on CD asking for some help with some code. I personally think of Looking Forward as a cross between the CIA, NSA, and a public watch group. Please keep doign what you are doing. This is quite fun and informative.

One thing I would like to note is this year is a little crazier than in years past. LF seems to have a key fix on the robots, but Payload Specialists are such a critical component of this game. For the record, the average specialist at Kettering scored about 40% of their shots. This equates to 5 moon rocks or 10 points, or 30 points of an alliances score ON AVERAGE. Go back and check the scores and you will see this was a major factor. Some of the best at Kettering were shooting 70% or at least 9/13. This is 18 points of moon rocks, and these guys/gals would frequently score a Super Cell. If they averaged 1 Super every 3 matches, this makes that Payload Specialist worth about 23 points on average. Get 2 of those on your team and an Average person and you have a 56 point alliance of Payload Specialists.
