Hi Ashley:

Thank you very much for your post to the wiki and for resending it to the list.

As I have opened the page/session where you have made your comment, I must
give you an explanation for not giving you any feedback as I should have.
Indeed I have checked the posts to that "online session" during two weeks
after the end of OSonOs. Then, as no one else commented during more that
one week, I have suspended my "daily checks" - until now... Next week end I
will see more carefully what is hapenning there. Thanks for reminding me. I
will probably also include there the comment from Harrison (or was
Ethelyn?) unless he objects...

You also said, Ashley:

I think you can - even if passion can sometimes be fluid and disapear if
not "corresponded". But that is the "law" of passion, isn't it? (I wonder
what are the "principles" - but there must be four, I presume...)

That is indeed the most important point. Me too I was expecting that, after
the onsite participants would come back home, they would find some time to
share with us their experience of being "observed" by online people. As you
have probably noticed, I have even opened a section to have comments from
online participants, but no one showed up --- which I can understand very
well as the onsite experience is so rich that probably all energies are
lost for further online comments...

Anyhow I expect that your post to the list will contibute to call the
attention of onsite participants at OSonOS to our dialogue on "Onsite And
Online Colaboration At OSonOS" that is still open at

http://www.openspaceworld.org/network/wiki.cgi?OSonOSinSwenMark/OnsiteAndOnlineColaborationAtOSonOS

where anyone can comment ;-)

Thanks and regards

Artur
