There are some people (autistic, etc.) who do better communicating via one
sense at a time. The sensory overload of face to face communication is too
much for them to handle. They have trouble dealing with the words and the
emotions at the same time.

Do you really believe that personality issues do not matter?
One Fortune 500 company I worked for had a very harsh VP. He stepped on too
many toes, and was escorted out by security one day after stepping on the
wrong toes.
Build your platform, then. Be *concrete* and explain how you are an asset.

re #180 Are you suggesting that jp2 is autistic? That might explain
some things...
re #176

Well, now. I suppose that if you had actually *read* what you are
claiming to be responding to, you have noticed the part about "our
current technological and financial resources" determining the parameters
within which we will meet. I did not suggest that remote meeting would
be impossible if we had the resources of the megacorps you use as
examples.
re # 185 The supposed 'logic' behind your suggestion for joint
memberships has in earlier discussions proven so thoroughly deficient
that it is not even worth further response.
Jamie, I have to say that I do hope you will continue to voice your
opinions on Grex, as that is the surest possible way to assure that you
will never have any significant impact upon our policy or management
practices, except possibly to reinforce our perceptions of the decisions
we have made as being the correct ones.

I suppose you would be willing to cover the cost of a portable 100Mbps
real-time, full-screen videoconferencing setup? I'd like to see that.

True. And I have kept my mouth shut for a while now. First off, Jamie is
a friend of mine - but even I take him with a grain of salt. Yes, he's
pompous and at times, obnoxious. But I think you are overlooking the good
things he could bring to the table. I thought he had some great ideas - I
would love if I could pay one fee and be a member of both grex and m-net.
They are such wildly diverse systems - just as your board would be diverse
if you actually looked at Jamie as a serious contender. It's not all bad,
people.

I think the main difference between grex and m-net is that on the latter
everyone seems to be calling everyone else an ass. Can they all be right?

I *was* giving him the benefit of the doubt initially. I did not lie
about that.
He came under immediate strong criticism. Rather than simply
explaining his point of view, he lashed out. He's made several
negative comments about Grexers... the same folks he claims to want to
serve.
The things he brings up *are* worthy of consideration. But they can
happen without him. I want to know that the right people are handling
the issues we are concerned about.
His approach is piss-poor and has been from the beginning. I don't
want to be attacked if he is in a position of power and I question his
viewpoint.
I think he's intelligent but tact does matter. As someone who may be
serving *my* needs, his attitude towards me indeed matters. The fact
that he does not think so shows him to be short-sighted, focused only
on his personal goals regardless of who he offends. This is not
appropriate in a customer service environment. The fact that he can
only spout that I don't know politics when I call him on this point
only proves that he is selfish and will not concede a valid point. He
will need to be able to compromise when he is faced with reasonable
opposition.

I do not believe that Jamie seriously expects to win any grex elections, and
I think he is just talking about it as a joke. To win, he would have had to
convince a lot of his friends to become grex members, which would probably
require that he get more people to pay for grex memberships than the total
who have paid for m-net memberships.

Add me to the list of people who don't think conference calling would be a
good way to conduct meetings. In my professional life we do conference calls,
but we also sometimes conclude that a ftf meeting is needed.

re 186: We're talking about such small sums of money here that any kind
of joint membership program is not going to be worth the hassle of
administering it. I certainly don't think it will bring in more than a
couple of new memberships. Aside from a few fanatics, most users don't
have the time--even if they had the inclination--to keep up with
discussions on both systems. Those that are really hot to be voting
members of both MNet and Grex probably already belong to both groups
already.
As for joint publicity, that's a fine idea. There's nothing to stop us
from doing that now, aside from the lack of volunteers to actually do
the work.
