<DIV>Thanks Michael,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your experience sounds promising. I just went back and
scanned around again. Some of the old Openspace threads (the most
recent I saw was posted last May) are interesting, particularly by way
of better getting to know the good handful of you who posted frequently.
I'm happy to experiment. In the interest of liveness, if someone were
to start a thread and somehow let me know, I'd try to find it to respond.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I've experienced on other bulletin board enterprises, is that it only
takes a few experiences of returning to the web site, passing into it with a
password, following the links, and discovering that there's been little change
or no response to attenuate my participation. Low bandwidth here
contributes to the experience. I've had limited exchanges on bulletin
boards, but I've never had that emergent sense of connection, community, and
dialogue that I have had on lists, including this one this last
month. Many things have to come together in fruitfulness, openness,
and wholeness for emergence. Demergence happens very easily.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I'm also willing to try to follow the norms of this list as embodied
and expressed by the rest of you. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>dan,
<P>there are no signs of the conversation because it hasn't started there
yet. the listserv doesn't get posted there. and as far as learning
in the metanet environment... i learned openspace there from a whole bunch of
brilliant people... fastest, deepest learning experience i can remember ever
having and much better than the listserv because it streams and is so easily
reviewable. when i got to metanet, i read back through 4 years of ost
conversations and even restarted a few dormant threads. m <BR>

Hi, When I go there (<FONT face="Times New Roman"><FONT size=+0><A

of "Turtle (way of the warrior)" or other threads in this vein as we
have experienced originating in the last month. Am I lost? I
wonder, too, is the bulletin-board format as conducive to learning-oriented
dialogue as a listserve medium? It seems awkward to me... Best
