Hi Irma,

Go here, and you'll be able to  join.

<http://forum.citizendium.org/>http://forum.citizendium.org/

Are you a member of Citizendium? You can join the Forums as either a Member or a non-Member, but it's easier to participate as a Member. If not, why not join Citizendium? It's easy to do, and I'm the Constable who will approve your request. To join CZ, just go here and go through the process:

<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Citizendium>http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Citizendium

(Click on the word Register on the left-hand side of the page.)

We came under a major spam attack a couple of weeks ago and had to take measures to prevents hundreds of spammer accounts from being automatically created, so now when you register to become a Forum member, you will have to fill out a simple little automated form that, in theory, prevents spammers from joining. You will then be approved for membership by a Constable, probably me....

Once you're a member and have browsed through some of the threads, you can then click the little blue line in the upper left that reads, "Show unread posts since last visit" -- that will then show you only the *new* messages that have been posted since your last visit.

Best,

Hayford



My recently deceased husband was member of this group.
I would ver y much like to participate in a discussion or debate if at all pòssible and provided the issues are relevant and appealing.

I am a language teacher and translator who has spent a good part of her life reading and writing.

Would appreciate to learn how to be be eligible for this forum , more about the nature of the subject matters approached, and the way to post comments. I f I do not qualify, please delete my name from this mailing list.
Cordially,
 irma H

As for people not using the Forums for discussion of matters of importance -- in my opinion that is primarily *their* loss, not Citizendium's. The people whose opinions and views most of us value will use the Forums.

Wow, Hayford, forgive me, but are you ever wrong on that one. I know from personal struggle how hard it is to have even the smartest people understand how to use a discuss list. Impossible, sometimes. And the inability to grok the arcane and 35 year old list mechanism is in no way related to the quality of comments or views or opinions. In fact, we want ALL opinions and input and experiences, and without the benefit of wide input, the loss is most definitely very wide. It's a loss to all of us.

Perhaps a gentler approach with our fellows would be more productive?
