48 hours ago, I posted an idea : apart from discussing about list splitting and such, why not try something right away ? I picked an issue (JOBS) that obviously is vital for some of us, and may be considered as interesting, or not interesting, by the others. I suggested we would not create a new sub-list, but just flag our messages with the word JOBS in the header. Within 48 hours, I got 7 personal messages and 13 public messages, all with the JOBS header.1 came from Parliste, 0 from PDUK. 7 just approving the initiative 3 from people still working and worrying for the future 1 about stress while working and relief after retiring 3 about ethics The first finding (no surprise) is we chose a very complex, touchy, painful issue. On top of PD, young PWP's have to face long term unemployment, creating money and identity problems. Next step is to climb from "topic of the day" to "permanent sub-list" : I will keep you informed Regards Bernard JOLY joly_bernard.com
