We are not trying to shut down the discussion, honestly, that was never my intention. As organizers of this event, we thought a pole was a good idea to get a more accurate count of what our 69 or so members of the burning corn list are thinking as far as camera presence/use. Feel free to continue with the discussion. I do see the point you were making with the tree seed, I don't nessesarily agree with it, but it is a valid point. It is also a different angle on the discussion at hand, and I am interested in what other think. Please reference "kinda missing the point (videotaping)" One more thing, Put yourself in the position of the organizers for a moment. we want to make this an enlightening experience for everyone. We are exploring how we can do that in a similiar manner as to how this discussion is taking place. I am feeling that chilling effect you expressed experiencing at the burn possibly creaping onto this very message board. Discussion is nessesary, but at some point topics do come full circle. On a completely different note GX and I were discussing official committees this evening. perhaps we need a privacy-publicity committee, to handle these issues in the future? My two cents: I was kind intrigued by the idea that someone threw out of having a designated documentation area. Kristen --- End forwarded message ---
