Ron I was interested in Heather's reply from the digest that 3-5 passionate people keep a list going. I guess in terms of OT Now that's one passionate person and a few faithful reactors. I have the same difficulty with the Allen Cognitive Network Bulletin Board. Most of the posts are from me. Your number 4 comes close but I think it is more than that. Too much email period. Every time I sit down to do some work on the computer I spend so much time responding/reacting that I sometimes never get going on what I intended to do. I'm president of the Allen Cognitive Network this year. Some of the people I depend upon simply don't read their email or all of it for days at a time. It's the only way they can get anything else done. When I first got connected to the Internet it was not like this. I was on an OT listserve from Dalhousie and we became a real community. I think lots of people read but depend on others for the content.
Incidentally - Advance Registration is now open for the Allen Cognitive Symposium in November in Boston www.Allen-cognitive-network.org Blessings, Joan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Carson Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 7:39 AM To: OTlist Subject: [OTlist] Why??? Why does the list "die"? Is it because: 1. You don't think about it? 2. Not enough time to write? 3. Not enough interest to write? 4. Too many other resources? 5. Not any benefit to writing?
