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?
