Hi. I have no desire to cause offence, even though its seems I have at some stage already, but I have a couple of comments to make. I took part in last nights meeting and to be fair the time chosen was done so democratically, so I must say I think that comment is unwarranted. I really don't think someone who wasn't part of the process can knock the choice of who was asked to do what role, or who took a role upon themselves as the case may be. I also think, and this happened last night as well as just now, making assumptions and comments about people we really don't know is far from productive. Infact all it does is cause further friction within the group. I said when I started taking part in discussion in this group that I see it as a long haul process. There are various reasons for this and I really don't feel like going into them with anyone as they are of a somewhat personal nature. I do however feel that when things are in better order, for me that is, I would like to take an active part in this group. However I'm not willing to, and don't have the energy to, "go 10 rounds in the ring" to obtain what should probably be simple answers to simple questions. There needs to be transparency, a member shouldn't have to email someone to find out how to do something that all members have the right to do. A question should be able to be asked in public, out in the open, and an answer obtained. It doesn't have to be an immediate reply, not for me anyway, but it would be nice to get one. If questions are asked openly and answered openly it saves, or should save, the same questions being asked multiple times. At the very least it save the person who originally answered it from having to do so again as everyone else bar the noobs knows the answer. Maybe when I have copious amounts of time to spare and the energy with which to use in that time I would get deeper into heated discussions. But as it is I just think I'll let you fine people do your thing. I'll help where I can, when I can and however I can, but I doubt I'll be asking any more questions, it just isn't worth it.
