I'm sorry if people are upset at my request to go off-list with their discussions but that was my conclusion borne out of the information I had. Some may not agree with my actions, but I cannot please everyone, I wish I could.

 

It is true, Attilo, you can't please everyone. But just so you know, I thought your suggestion was appropriate. It was ceasing to be a discussion and more and more becoming a pulpit for one individual. If one is having a meeting and a group wishes to focus on something that is only of interest to a small section of the meeting parties, it is natural that it be suggested they have their own meeting, imo. Just wanted to let you know you have my support. And thank you for putting this group together.

 

Be well,

I hope you feel that it is not I who is forbidding communication. (I

know you can't answer this now, I'll let it sit on file until you

return). But I didn't start a discussion group and spend so much time

gathering members, promoting the group at various link sites,

uploading the files, links, pics, etc to be accused of forbidding

communication!

 

I have to find a balance within my vision of what I want the group to

be, the wants and needs of the members and the boundaries of

technology. Finding this balance is difficult, I have to weigh-up the

complaints, my own views, the needs of other members and the way in

which emails are distributed into accounts when they have been set up

incorrectly.

Attilio,

 

Forgive me for responding in Ken's absence. He'll be visiting my home soon, so I'll say a few words on behalf of my guest.

 

No, I think Ken was not referring to your mostly gentle and hands-off hosting ... but then maybe he was. I'm not sure, and I'll ask. I believe Ken was referencing an earlier complaint and warning regarding Lon's verbosity. Ken's a sort of "high plains drifter" kind of guy who prefers to present sufficient amounts of reality to clean up the street with an honorable fight. He figures the Tao will make all the right adjustments. No matter what badness or goodness presents itself, I think Ken senses that we'll all be simultaneously nourished by it and instructed by it. In a few days I'll ask Ken if this comes close to representing him. If not, I'll personally apologize to all.

 

But I feel you need not worry regarding your hosting of the group and Ken's admonishing remarks.
