rene Posted December 1, 2010 Hi Stigweard, Oops.. We're trying to limit the new threads to be started only by Twinner, so your post could have gone in the General Discussion thread for now. I copied your links over, and if that thread later needs to be sorted, well, I know someone (Mal) who's rather handy at those kinds of things. Thanks for understanding! warm regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigweard Posted December 1, 2010 I am quite sure the free-for-all nature of TaoBums can cope with people contributing and starting new topics as they feel fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rene Posted December 1, 2010 I am quite sure the free-for-all nature of TaoBums can cope with people contributing and starting new topics as they feel fit. I'm sure that's very true! But we are trying something different in this subforum, so, Stigweard, if you can personally restrain yourself from starting threads, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

But we are trying something different in this subforum, so, Stigweard, if you can personally restrain yourself from starting threads, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Were this someone's private Practice Forum then I would be happy to comply. However this is a subforum of the open Taoist Discussion forum wherein every member has the liberty to post and contribute however they wish. So whilst I will certainly be mindful and respectful for your endeavors, I certainly will not promise to "restrain myself" in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just wanted to try something new and I'm surprised you cant help us with this one-off. I guess the best we can hope for then is your success at staying mindful. Good luck!

Apech Posted December 1, 2010 I love listening to firmly rooted people having a discussion. (Hehehe. The devil made me say that.) Actually I would like to remove the discussion and just leave the resources - which then could be added to. They are going to be harder to find if people have to scroll through min-debates ... what do you think???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I woun't speak for others but I would support your decision if you decided to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
