This message was returned to me. Did others get it? Other people seem to have same doubts lately about messages coming through or not.  

Maybe the architects didn't like what I said about collective intelligence.

>I experienced it in a road design consultation. Each group worked on a map of one part of the proposed road design adding comments directly on the large diagram sheet that covered the table. After 20 min, all groups remaining the same, went to work at a different table which had a different section of the road project. Staff later collected all sheets to compile. There was no group overall discussion at the setting nor after. What resulted is a list of disconnected ideas. It's a start for a consultation but it misses the connections so stronger and more complete picture can be derived. That's the important part.
