Hello, |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
First off, let me say that I too would definitely love to see Mr. |
| 21 |
Robbins participate in the discussion here. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But I don't think that implying that he's trying to do this secretly |
| 24 |
doesn't really seem appropriate, in my personal opinion. While only |
| 25 |
barely qualifying as a two-way street due to the ability to comments, |
| 26 |
his blog still expresses his sentiments openly. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, he's not trying to keep this mailing list a secret. I actually |
| 29 |
joined this list because I saw his suggestion to do so on his blog, |
| 30 |
and I'm sure that many others joined it because they heard about it |
| 31 |
from him. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
So again, I'm merely trying to say that I don't think it's fair to |
| 34 |
make insinuations that he is trying to avoid doing this stuff openly, |
| 35 |
but I definitely agree with you both that it would be wonderful if |
| 36 |
he'd participate on these lists. If we could get all the bazillions of |
| 37 |
people leaving comments on his blog to join here too, that'd also be |
| 38 |
swell, but I definitely think that Mr. Robbins should be at the center |
| 39 |
of the discussion on this list. :) |

Sincerely, |
