My general thoughts stand; I'll leave it to individuals to decide to what
extent my thoughts may apply to them. I do not know any persons or projects
well enough to point fingers; my thoughts are much more theoretical in
nature.
Also, I would classify being bothered by a lack of direction to be bothered
by something political. Maybe its semantics but that is where I am coming
from.
I have lots of ideas, as I am sure others do, but I am not being pressed
currently and have other aspects of my own house to get in order before I
could follow-through along this front. I too hope someone can take the ball
and run and move this discussion off of a single e-mail thread and into some
more structured.
