It's not always clear what function the list serves, even when it is comparatively busy. Shawn, I acknowledge the truth of what you say. It has been a frustration of mine as well. Based on your experience, have you found other groups who do manage to talk well one with another? What is it they do that makes them more successful? Do you have any suggestions on what could be done to facilitate the flow of communications here at this site? It does seem ironic, but perhaps not merely coincidental, that at a time when we need to become more forceful in our opposition to the powers that be, groups like this seem to be floundering. I don't mean to imply that everything is negative. Certainly, other groups like moveon.org have certainly been successful at utilizing the internet to mobilize people in interesting ways politically. As an anarchist whose opinions I have come to respect very much, what do you think can be done strategically at the present moment to foster a stronger movement either here on the internet or out there on the streets? eric
