| During the "Secetera.not" flap, where it looked as if some conferences
would be deleted, some of the conference members apparently decided
to jump the gun.
This is why in a few responses I've advised a _bit_ of caution in
how one responds and the level of what one talks about. See
ILL OMEN? SHALL WE RESTRICT THIS CONFERENCE? and a couple of other
notes.
In order to keep nthis conference, in my opinion, we have to take
some responsibility in how we conduct ourselves.
So far, we have done so.

| Hmmm ... I'm assuming that 184.2 is a pun ... a good one, I might add.
As Steve says, Some of the note authors became nervous. Since VAXNotes was
installed on Cyclops in the middle of the SEXCETERA flap, I missed many of those
base notes myself.
My personal feeling about the whole episode are:
o Of course, we should be considerate about what we note. These are
"public" conferences. (The joy of Creation is in our infinite
diversity and how our differences combine to form harmony and beauty.)
o A lot of people over-reacted.
Note 111 (and its 209 replies) in the "Digital Culture" conference
(HUMAN::DIGITAL -- press KP7/SELECT to add it to your notebook) will provide
some perspective and entertainment.
Ever the anarchist,
Terry
