A good read for anti- or apathetic PLUG people
Posted: Fri 15 Jul 2011, 10:29
The power that forum users have exercised over a fear of 'power-crazy Users' trying to actually DO something for all our benefits, has resulted in an on-off reaction By John M to the concept of PLUG proposed by WhoDo
At the moment, [now 15th July 2011] it's on again, but without quite a lot of the impetus, energy, and input from people who once thought it doable
Everyone knows, or should do, that there are problems with information location and retrieval, particularly when someone has a problem, or a new Puppy or derivative is announced
In the process of testing not all problems get sorted, so there are updates/patches and dotpets posted
Its a big forum - things get swallowed by the new, and soon lost.
Things posted just a month ago are way down the list of posts
So, do we really need to sort it out, IMHO, or are we [some of us users....no names] going to stay struggling, and sometimes complaining about it, or offering destabilising alternate ideas?
A suggestion: Have a read! my recommendation - The Starfish and the Spider
get a copy here or at a good bookshop
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1591841836
After a few people get the idea that we work best by working together, instead of against each other, maybe we'll move on....
Away from the power of inaction, or blocking good energy with fear about what might happen
.........and towards what the Puppy philosophy is - Small, simple and elegant............Isn't it time we stopped complicating it, especially by NOT sorting out the forum, and a USERS group to assist in that process?
Please post comment, here

......and see what you can do to help, thanks
Apathy and negativity need to GO
