the truly dangerous thing is nobody doing anything. i can hammer prose out on my keyboard at a pace and volume that few can keep up with. so what? without realistic plans which are then acted on, my words (and yours) are not worth a damn thing. i can point out all kinds of things various people have done "wrong", ranging from small and honest misses at greatness to outright forehead-slap-inducing failures of epic proportion. so what? if i can't describe, and then act on, functional processes, little how can anything improve. i can describe in great detail how my goals and motivations are different from yours. so what? if i can't identify our commonalities, the gaps will define our relationship and our problems will exist forever. isntead, focus on realistic planning, process creation and building on commonalities. those are all *states of activity* that can lead to improvements. if there is interest in doing the above (which i have seen little evidence for in this thread, which has been more about prose writing and sharing disonnance so far), perhaps a restart would be useful. a team can self-organize which takes on this issue as an actual project like any other with goals and methods (tbd) and time commitments. those who will not actually do the work required can sit it out and in time we'll have improvement. otherwise, this is a waste of time, patience and community good will. -- Aaron J.
