Surely a forum specifically for mentorship will be more useful if
outsiders can be directed to existing discussions, without needing to
join the private club.
This argument comes up repeatedly. Some people object on principle to
all closed lists.
No, I'm pointing out that a closed forum *for mentorship specifically*
is undermining the goal of mentorship: to efficiently share valuable
knowledge and help newbies learn from existing discussions with experts
and other newbies.
I disagree. The goal of mentorship is to help someone learn -- a
subtle, yet distinct, difference. I think a closed list will suit that
purpose better.
Keep in mind also that the list is *closed*, not *locked* -- anyone can
join, and anyone who has joined has full access to current goings-on and
to the archives.
