Jack - that fact that I disagree with you should not be interpreted as me not taking you seriously. I spend quite a bit of time thinking about what you say and replying to your comments. If that is not taking you serious then I dont kn...

Im sorry you feel that way Jack. I only hope that you will reserve final judgement until you have had actual experience organising with us. My feeling is that your strong criticisms and conclusion that we are "not doing a very goo...

Brilliant article deserving of wider dissemination. Very cogently argued, obviously on the basis of a lot of political experience and reflection. It's a bit US-centric (I'm in Australia) but that's natural for Zcomm. Especially liked the 'core val...
