Goodness me - you guys are great conversationalists!
I have a file full of NLP traffic that I'm going to get to read soon -
I'm a bit uneasy about what I'll find there!
We are about 230 in number, with a steady influx and efflux working quite
nicely.
I'm hoping to get the rough web page up next week, including the list of
baby bios that you've given me, plus the beginnings of accumulated
traffic, starting with the most recent.
Personally I have reservations about making this page public - linking it
etc.
Maybe we could have this one that I'll produce soon, more or less as a
house page, and we could look at what we'd like to do in open syber-space.
My concern is that if our bios are easily accessed from the myriad NLP
pages in the NET, then we may be inclined to be more coy about ourselves
than we would otherwise be within nlptalk. Of course there's nothing to
stop people passing the address around, but do we want to open the door wide?
Re linked pages, it would seem to me to be more useful if we used our
accumulated traffic as raw material, from which to generate articles on
some of the topics that seem to grab our interest. These articles might
find a place in web pages that already exist - _The Best of NLPTALK_ if you
like.
What do you think about this? Maybe I'm just being West Australian(Kiwi)!
November 1 is LURKERS' DAY
This is the day when those of us who just lurk test to see that their
SEND button works, by making a comment - you've a month to think of what
to say.
Everyone knows that it's coming so those with volume problems can unsub
for the day, we'll steal Denis's keyboard, and treat you with the
familiar appreciation that you deserve. Start jotting a few notes now!
How's that?
