isolated, distressed people in book-sized life-ra
People! I have seen with my own eyes the first person who is isolated,
distressed, seeking help, seeking friends, seeking people like us and asking for
an on-line community much like ours posting on the BB! There are going to be
people on the BB looking for a group, something more “personal”… or
personable? They were inquiring into this because of the recent alterations made
at the Big Site (if you know what I mean). Though it is wise to excise a
malignant tumor we are left more “invisible” to the world… what to do? I hope
Dekany’s new board (which looks like it has great potential) gets off to a
lively pace and this mailing list remain strong. But what should we do? [looking
around at the 600+ group of people in the cyber-world] we are like an isolated
flock of people… are we like a cult (shaklee cult anyone?!?), secretive, with
special “recruiters” to keep the herd strong? Do we become a classic example of
exclusivism, becoming a more private group with a growing sense of superiority?
Well, on a related thought… it sure was humbling to see all those hundreds of
people who don’t post much… but are listed as members nonetheless. I wonder
how many of them get the digest form? I’d better check to see exactly what I’ve
been writing of my personal life to 600+ people simultaneously…
