I am on both lists so I don't miss anything. The one annoyance I have is the frequency with which people respond to the same message on both lists. This, to me, is an indication of confusion, either of the lists themselves or of the users. I am in at least one othe community that operates multiple lists with different purposes and I have never seen this cross-responding issue before. If there is a need to maintain two lists, I think simpler, clearer delineation of the intents is called for (perhaps along the lines that Shelley articulated). If you are sending a message and feel you want/need to send it to both lists, that is an indication of a problem. . . iMHO. Of course. On Tuesday, July 2, 2013, Ken Fisher wrote:
Thank you, Pricilla.
Seems true to me also.
But I do sense a difference, which for me is the O:E is more communal and the 'ICA' is more socially analytical.
I enjoy both and am unable to see any reason to disturb this.

I am on both because I might miss something...never really thought much about the difference between them. When an email comes up that I've read on the other listserv...which ever...I just hit delete and think nothing of it. If there was a difference when they were first created I think that difference has long since disappeared. Priscilla H Wilson

The easy issue I raised was what is the difference between the OE and Dialogue listservs, given (if it is true) that the people on the two lists are mostly the same and there are a lot of double postings.
You might respond by starting with these statements:
- I am on both listserves because . . . - I am on only one listserv, the ______ listserve, because . . . - I agree, there is no difference and they should be combined. Here's why . . . - The OE listserv is for ____________ and the Dialogue listserv is for __________
At my advanced old age (as I am reminded on these lists), I of course no that things get into history for different reasons and then remain after those reasons no longer apply. The OE listserve was initiality to address concerns related to sexual abuse of the emerging generation in the order, but this is not longer addressed on that listserve.
In my view the OE listserve is more about the personal lives of former members of OE, but then when I joined the Dialogue listserve I found that it concerned almost the same thing.
By the way, I'm not expecting the listserves to be combined, simply because (because what I'm not sure).
Still some may find this an interesting topic. I'm inclined to go back to OE only because I joined these conversations to stay in touch with those dear colleagues with whom I shared an important part of my life.
