<div>I can't help but feel that this listserve is what it is -- and as
they say in the great State of Maine -- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Having said all of that, Rich, I think the questions you raise are real
and deserve further comment. For me the issue is all about making Open
Space available to whomsoever might need it. To all those folks here on
the list who have indicated that they are putting pens to paper or
fingers to the keyboard -- I say go for it! And to anybody else who is
thinking about it -- Please stop thinking. Do it!</div>
<br>
<div>This listserve gives us all the opportunity to share our
experiences, questions and A-haas. But when it comes to addressing the
broader community what happens here is pretty much preaching to the
choir. And that is a good and useful function, after all choirs need help
just like everybody else. However, if I can continue the analogy, choirs
don't really become choirs until they perform -- publicly. So come on
folks -- Sing! </div>
