sez you!

i would have put the word IF in caps.

no-one here would mind if ET grew to be the FT of the new millennium, probably, but i wonder if polled, whether size matters that much to ET'ers.

i don't think its the size of the stone david threw, as much as the accuracy...

I agree that the accuracy was vital, however the stone did kill Goliath and i doubt that many stones much smaller than, say, 2cm would have accomplished the task. ET may have the requisite size but lack the visibility. Or it may require both more size and visibility. I don't know.

In any case, melo, I enjoy your posts.

thanks ARG.

i don't worry about ET growing, hasn't it grown well so far?

i'm concerned about over-reach, if anything, not because we wouldnìt do some good, but because it would be depressing if it didn't.

wu-wei..letting it be what it without reshaping it seems the wisest course to me. of course if people feel differently, that makes it more, not less interesting.

there's a lot of smarts here, and the agenda seems right on track for a better world. whether the world id listening deoendes more on where peoples' heads are at, rather than how persuasive we can make our model, image, whatever.

i guess i believe more in pull than push, i dunno.
