Laura and all I too have found that with smaller groups, the tendency is for both the people and the topics to converge. People seem to need to"bond" together, either because they are the "only" ones there, or in some cases, because there are sound organizational reasons for doing so - like they will have to work together later!!

Both times they stayed in one group and either dealt with each topic in some logical order or merged topics as they went along. I wonder if there is a reason why small complex adaptive systems behave that way and larger systems split. > > Don > > * > * > ========================================================== > [email protected] > To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, > view the archives of [email protected] > Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html > > =========================================================== > [email protected] > To subscribe, > 1.
