ET shares many similarities with MOA - eg Fran's Salon is similar to the Links sections MOA used, a wide focus on international events and news analysis. The big difference being the "E" in ET.
Bernhard seems to have a lot on its plate, reading Gaianne, so I don't think you should take it too personally for having been overlooked.
I think you should go ahead. If people think ET is not for them, they won't sign up. It's never a loss for ET, and it is a sympathetic move on your part.
the way the comments work here is easier to follow. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
However, I really enjoyed reading the posts and the comments from all the people there, which I did at least once a week.
It was too late for me to leave a comment there (I only found out the news today), but I'd like to thank Bernhard and Jerome for their time and effort and wish B. good luck in his future endeavors.
