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. No one has the power to edit posts to this list and it seems to workout. Just thinking aloud.
