Recently people have suggested using the net as a forum for sharing ideas. Sorry, folks, this just isn't one of the functions can perform any more. Only if the issues are non-controversial can information be exchanged as suggested. Any controversial issue gets bogged down in noise quickly. Net.women.only didn't work and many other groups suffer the same fate. Everybody is for peace, but my experience is that everybody has different definitions of terms and differentideas about how peace should be maintained and or nurtured. Good luck. The net has died, compared to what it was over 4 years ago when I joined. When I get the time, I'll set up Usenet, Inc. and we'll have a useful net again. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
