Hi Peter
2 observations about your post on the necessity to meaningfully
communicate and to avoid extended sermons when people aren't paying
attention, and on the usefulness of blogs.

Hola All Fellow Cyber Cadets ~
I don't consider myself as a cadet, cyber or otherwise, and I doubt many
here in the Digital Divide Network do. "Cadet" evokes rigid discipline,
unconditional obediance to a hierarchy. Not quite the way DDN works.
(...)
it is how well we live in a qualitative life-sense; it is how
noble, how just and how humane we have been towards others in
the scales of eternal time that counts in the end. The rest is just
inhaling and exhaling… any animal can do that!
(...) Many online groups and chat rooms are akin to the insanity of
the Tower of Babel wherein we speak endlessly to really no one but
ourselves because no one reads, no one listens, no one responds. (...)
Actually, the Tower of Babel was an extremely well coordinated and
perfectly communicating international project aimed at the betterment of
mankind, beyond "just inhaling and exhaling like animals".
The Tower of Babel might be a good symbol for DDN, actually - were it
not that it got so successful that G-d felt He'd better put an end to it
- and so *He* did, by messing up the Babel communication network big way.
So better not wake His attention. He probably has programmed His version
of Echelon to launch His weapons of mass destruction at any mention of
plans to revive the Babel project.
All the best,
Claude
