Subject: Planning: getting started
 
Well, here we go. I feel like someone standing on the top of a mountain
and shouting, without knowing if anyone is listening! (or even if
the message will carry).
 
First, welcome and thank you for your interest. I see my job as getting
discussion going, rather than instructing, although I will of course
be happy to pass on any information/guidance that I may have,with
regard to specific issues.
 
I'm going to start by asking you to follow some very simple but
essential procedures/habits. You will note I started with a
subject title, which has two parts: Planning, so people will
know which of the six conferences they are in; and Getting
Started, which is really the topic within Planning. It will
help everyone if you can all follow that format for the subject
title.
 
Second, please send only those messages through this conference
that you want to share with everyone; the first time you send
a conference message, please indicate very briefly who you are
and where you work/study/etc. I would like to know more about
you, and will be happy to talk 'one-on-one' about issues, but
if you want to do that and not share, please send me an e-mail
(address: tonyb@ola.bc.ca) rather than post it in the conference.
It would be useful to include your own e-mail address when you
send a conference message, because some people may prefer to
address the issue with you 'one-on-one', rather than as part of
the conference.
 
Lastly, keep your messages short! Break them up into different
messages with appropriate subject titles. For this reason, I am
stopping now, and will start on the topic itself in my next
message. In the meantime, if you would like to introduce yourself
to me, please send me an e-mail. OK, now let's get started.
