That creativity! It's funny how working with computers which is
considered very left-brain can still be creative.

I think you let go of an elusive burden at the same time ;)

Too much attachment to emptiness :) Made the list empty :) My guess is a
funny combination of projection.. In a bizarre way it's like a cosmic
joke.

His energy quite pervasive ... Interesting example that there are still
extremes in awakened people... We could use him as a text book reference
:) Funny to have such strange wiring and the power of K behind it.

Sounds nice... We can be intimate :) But new people should be welcomed
too! As we were all once a newbie.

Not at all.. It was funny you came back to tell me that though, so maybe
it was a message to you as well.

I'm going to mark on the calendar for the next one :) I'll plan in
advance :)

Yeah... I think it's finding a balance of technical points and stuff
people can relate to from real life. That is always the strongest way
I've found to present stuff.

Yeah... it's loosing touch of own center... I realized later I locked
myself out of my flat not too long before and it was at about the same
time I'd locked myself out of me...
It was a big struggle to get back in my flat with many obstacles.. Too
late for key-maker to come.. Other people say cost too much.. Friend not
call me back.. Another friend who said I could always call her wasn't
available etc.. Another friend was too busy having a good time so didn't
want to bring the problem on her... With enough desire and intention it
became a reality to get back in, and some people were happy to help.
I was relieved, grateful and appreciative of the familiarity of being
back in my own home after being locked out :) (Inner and outer)

Yeah.. And easy to add/amend as new things pop up..

Word can make it easy with the right header settings to automatically
create a table of contents/chapters and illustrations and references
etc...

I noticed one post came through as HTML.. That could make things more
colourful.. I don't know if pictures can be added as well... I guess
bandwidth maybe a consideration...

I think there can be a freshness here... For something new and wonderful
to evolve .. Not sure what though..

I thought part of it was a cry for help... I could imagine him as a fat
arse sweaty geek with a very dull sense of humour. Probably someone
without too much success in life relationships or situations. He
obviously has a good mind but his creativity maybe not to the taste of
others.
> He sure must love me a lot, to be so desperate for my
attention...;)
Perhaps infatuated with you.. Maybe this was his way to get closer to
you :)

I think he won't be through with you until he got your hardest spanking
:)

Focusing on the value and usefulness of the group and any references
from old messages may be valid. Make for proof that it was (at least
more so at one time) a support group and this may help them to
re-consider.
Well thanks for your efforts and also to the moderators!
How about a house warming party :))
