It would b interesting to hear what Shannon thoughts are on this issue. Perhaps she will respond. When people do not respond i take it as an implicit way of saying: "i am not interested." That is a personal insight i have gained throughout the years.
It seems to me that it is nice to get to know one another better. It is very difficult for me to have administrators here on this forum without even being able to contact them and talk to them by phone. The main emphasis here is not business but rather spiritual affinity and divine friendship. i have seen people--even here--who seem to forget what the purpose is and engage in divisive activity. If we cannot agree to disagree it becomes a challenge. This issue goes beyond the current theme of this thread.
