sorry to miss answering this. as i said from the start, i can't turn
anything on and off. i have to ask somebody else to do that and i don't
want to bother the boise state folks going back and forth with things.
also, i have built a few pages and links around the change. so, no, i
don't want to go back and undo only to perhaps redo later. if it is
ultimately decided to close the archive, then i will undo... but i don't
want to go back and forth and drag our hosts with me. sorry. i do
like this option of somebody being able to delete things for the group.
let's see what boise state folks say. keep moving then, working toward
the middle.

Birgitt, Lisa, Michael H, Therese, Chris,
I am a little shy this time to enter the exchange because this subject seems so
delicate and important - and you have chosen your words very thoughtfully. I
hope I can express myself the way I want to in this foreign language.
I see thruth and passion and responsibility in the postings of all of you. And
my point of view has changed and developed during these days. And on a long
walk I took this evening I wondered if should take part.
And then Chris, with your posting quoted above, you made me ask myself: "Where is
this finger pointing?" For me the finger is pointing to
* the way we interact with eachother *
more than to the subjects or the ideas or the free exchange.
At first I didn't mind having the archieves open. One of the things I love on
this list is the free sharing of thoughts an ideas. And I am totally convinced
that this opening was done with best purpose by you, Michael (H), and I am
grateful for the work you are doing to make this list possible.
On the other hand I know from my own experience that if I put a lot of work in
a project I sometimes tend to try leading the project into the direction I am
wishing to go and leave others behind who are not as involved in the
every-day-business. If this happens, some of them complain others just draw
back. And in the end the energy for the whole thing is going down.
Coming back to the list: Birgitt wrote in her last posting she misses a
decision-making-process. And I do as well. And I miss the question to the list
if we agree or disagree to include whatever is new to the FAQ's.
Things went to fast and I feel put to accomplished facts. Even if I know those
of you who acted did this with as much love and compassion for open space as I
could ever wish for.
Here my suggestions:
Michael, could you close the archieves at the moment and let us start anew?
Chris, could you send the FAQ's as a proposition and ask the rest of us if we
agree?
With love,
Marei
