[GJM] A Dilemna

[marguerite hampton]

Dear Friends,



Thanks to your interest and input to the Co-Learner's list,

I am in complete overwhelm and unable to handle the 

number of messages and comments sent through me for

posting to the list at this time.  I guess you could say "we

are a success".   



It has always been of concern to me that I was sitting here

as the facilitator and choosing what to post and comment on,

out of the many messages received each day, and yet  keep

the number of posts to a manageable number of no more 

than 3-4 a day, thus having to ignore some.   .  



But over the years we've been together, your trust in me has,

as a sort of "editor",  grown along with the number of people

on the list.  And, having been together, many of us for almost

five years now, group trust has grown as well and it seems to 

me we have become sort of a "think tank" for exploring new

and innovative ideas and tackling delicate issues. .  



Now, as the crisis deepens, more and more of you are 

choosing to participate, both in sending articles for 

consideration and in commenting on other's posts. So, 

while I feel we really have something good going here, 

there is an imperative to redesign the Co-learner's list 

so that it is more expansive in some ways while protecting

the privacy of those who want to "lurk" and gather info

without active participation.



While making this a  Yahoo list has been suggested, due 

to the policies of Yahoo, I am reluctant to do this considering

the provacative type of subjects discussed at times. . 



Any suggestions as to how we might do this?    



The name that comes to mind as someone who may be

likely  to have a solution due to his background, (as far as 

I know) is Dr. Curtiss Priest. What say you Curtiss? 



Warm regards and thanks to everyone for your patience and

consideration.  And do send along ideas.
