[Adam Blatner]

Hi, I haven't been back to the forum for a while. How many people aside from Ed S. and 
Adam M. Barcroft are using it in the last month? Do we have any serious discussions?
     I'm still wary:   1. the process is clumsy, awkward to access and use. One needs 
passwords, one needs to go
 to a website. Several additional operations. I told Mike Traynor this.

      2. I have little motivation, because
                 a. I don't sense there are enough people checking in regularly for me to 
bother saying anything and think it will be read, thought about, responded to..
     b. The people I would like to read my ideas or suggestions are not, to my knowledge, 
checking in to either grouptalk or the forum: i.e., all the executive council, even half 
of the executive council, folks on the Board of Examiners, the  president of the ASGPP or 
any officers, committee members, other sociometric stars in the organization, etc.
           So what's the point?

   Still, perhaps all the above might change. I've written to Mike Traynor and John 
Rasberry and others, asking for them to make their email addresses available, suggesting 
that they engage in outreach.

      I wrote this a few weeks ago... has anything begun to change?  Warmly, Adam
