well, i am hoping that if we do get this forum in place... the majority of members who ARE interested will help set the tone. if the majority of members are serious about getting insighful feedback, then the forum will be successful and much more straightforward to moderate. in return, it will yield a much more useful result for all those who participate. hopefully this will create a positive feedback cycle that is self-supporting. hmmm was all that redundant ? audre mumbles about too much oatmeal between her ears these days
