Hi Tim, and all others whose objective, reflective, interpretive and decisional juices have begun to flow around the provocative topic (s) Herman has introduced, I would love a way that I might easily tune into, follow and contribute to conversation threads of substance among us. I appreciate, but find distracting, one-liners from bunches of us over days and weeks that just say things like, "I agree" or "Thanks so much" or "Here, here!" I know I have been guilty of that easily-available means of affirmation or protest in the past. However, now as I write this, I guess that is the reason Facebook might have created the "Like" or "Unlike" or whatever other categories - which also annoy me because such responses never ground the "Like" or "Unlike" with the kind of rich texture we long for in a deep conversation as community. Tim, and other tech-savvy, 21st century communication gurus in our extended family - what platform (is that even the right term?) or interactive dynamic synaptic connectivity ) might we think about using to "wire our global community's brain" in meaningful, deep conversation? Thanks for your generous offer of support, and your ever unfolding expertise! Marilyn Marilyn R.
