I can understand that it could feel like an encroachment upon your
space to know that someone else is editing your words. I also felt a
little akward skimming the post down. I reassured myself, however, when
I likened myself to a journalist. The OSW weblog is more
of a way to alert people to things that are happening in the Open Space
world... OS News. What I've written is my story about this conversation. The weblog provides a different type of
visibility and awareness to the wealth of information that is unfurling
in this listserve and in the OSW wiki. I will provide a
link to this email discussion which will allow an interested reader to
find the full text of each of these emails. Another beauty of weblogs
is that the comment boxes are directly attached. You can always leave a
comment if you feel that you've been misquoted and if needed, a correction can be made.<br>

Ashley,
it does not seem to be in the spirit of open space to keepposts short
on the os weblog. A blog is not exactly a
wiki. Space isshut down for me when I know somehow (who is
the 'we' tryin to keepposts short and who gave them power over other
people's words) else isediting. It's okay to take your
approach but you will lose mycontribution, which is also
okay. But I have learned over the yearsthat if something
inhibits the flow of my energy, it has the sameeffect on others.<br>No one has the power to edit posts to this list and it seems to workout. Just thinking aloud.<br><br><br>On
