Hello All, My only concern with allowing the entire world as we know it an inner peek at our discussions, is the safety factor. If I remember correctly, upon initially signing up for various groups, I had to send an email to the moderator explaining why I wanted to join and what I would bring to

From: Bill Smart Maybe with all your concerns about personal safety you should re-think your Zen Forum moniker: Zen Warrior. How about Zen Non-Combatant? Conscientious Objector of Dharma? (COD) Newsgroup Internet Privacy Lover? (NIPL) If more than half the membership votes to cease allowing

Hello Just Bill, You may have misunderstood my message. I am aware signing onto this that it was a forum(and all the good/bad that goes with it). I also never stated that I had high privacy expectations(or any at all for that matter). While I do agree with your assertion that there is no privacy

Hello Al, I was aware that the forum was public as you stated. Maybe my concern stems from misunderstanding the question presented: 1. Making the discussions available to all(who seek) or 2. Actively advertising the presence of this group. Either way, as Just Bill stated, there is an inherent

In July, it will be seven years since I began the Zen Forum. What have I learned in those seven years? The people that have deep insights and a well-developed personality don't need to be here. The people that lack those qualities don't learn anything from being passive participants on an
