Hi List! This is from Doug Stewart. At some point he's unsubbed. I think we scared him away. OOPS! Still, I think the right message got through.
No self-flagellation, please. Y'all have enough to do without wasting your energy on hand wringing. On the tail end of last weeks' difficulties with Mr. Crowcroft, I can understand us all still being a little jumpy. But, next time, and *every* time, we need to treat new people as if they have a sincere desire to know the truth, and try to meet them where they are. Blessings, all. Be well, Mike D. ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: "Doug Stewart Consulting" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Post Unsubscribe Message to List Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 11:09:30 -0500 Importance: Normal Mike, Here is an e-mail that I sent to Michael Anthony. If you would share it with the silver-list, I'd appreciate it. Doug Stewart I have unsubscribed from the silver-list. But I've been affected by this list. I am blessed. I have not suffered like most of you. My day-to-day worries are slight. So I don't understand the way your community talks to each other (or your humor). My short exposure to you and the list has helped me make a decision. My recommendation to the person who is building CS generators is to create a web site devoted to helping people find more knowledge and to share knowledge about CS. I will also recommend that the engineer becomes active on this list and that he promotes this list. If he chooses to promote his generator on the web site, fine. But his web site should bridge the knowledge and understanding gap on CS. His generator should be a secondary concern. The web site should tell true stories like yours. People and knowledge first. Commerce second. I will only build his web site should he agree to this approach. The web is full of noise and clatter. Another person jumping up and down shouting about curing 650 ailments with their magic electro-magnetic gizmo will not make the web a better place. But a community sharing their experiences and knowledge will help. He should provide a place to give and share knowledge and experiences. If he does that well, and his product truly lives up to his claims, then he'll do allright. Doug Stewart -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
