As a long time lurker, now I quess it's time to introduce myself. My name is Marc B. I'm into the MOQ for a couple of years now, mostly as a passive bystander, just watching the mails passing by. That's why I turn to the MOQ focus, cause MOD is getting too chaotic in my opinion. Maybe, I don't know if there's already a topic for February, I could contribute by sharing some remarks I made on Pirsigs MOQ, concerned with Conscioussnes (and personality)
Marc -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Namens Byron Woodson Verzonden: vrijdag 11 januari 2002 23:25 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: MF a curveball from left field hey all, i guess its about time for me to chime in. I'm a newbie being overloaded with the back and forth and re-discussing past disussions about how to discuss what should be discussed and i'd almost be disgusted if we (you) werent trying to save a 'drowning' ship. i'm no hypnotist, but here's my suggestion: 1) It seems that people want to change the format of the list because they're not getting enough of the content that they want: to me that seems a bit off the mark. A bad conversation isn't corrected by getting a better phone. Just find something interesting to talk about. And who says we have to talk all the time? That seems a bit obsessive to me. Perhaps the MF can be nudged by cutting out the one-per-month topic requirement, while we keep the one-per day limit and a moderator. part 2) everyone kept saying 'dying' or 'drowning' (me) or saggin list and so forth. Has anyone ever heard of comfortable silence? Part of Zen (Ch'an/Dhyana) practice entails just sitting! why would you get your feathers in a ruffle about silence? perhaps a bit of peace even? be that as it may, i used to navigate some BBS's in my day. i kinda miss them. if you resurrect them, i'd join but i can't help build it. Signed: B-Y ("Be why" a question and an answer) PS: i have a couple topic ideas, if you simply asked the question: anyone got some topics they'd want to discuss, we probably wouldn't be re-inventing the wheel _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com MOQ.org - http://www.moq.org MOQ.org - http://www.moq.org
