Diana, all
> Yeah, I wondered when someone would get round to blaming me.
Tis only fair, after all, Who started this whole mess anyway? ;-)
On the idea of a separate list to re-read Lila a few comments.
I have no idea the number of members currently on both lists but it seems that at any given time
their are less that 20 people active in the discussion in both forums. Joint members seem to float
to where the action is as evidenced by the "Complete Silence" thread earlier in the month as many of
the active participant there shifted to MF. A third list might just dilute and fragment the group
such that none of the discussions remain viable.
I think the focused forum is the proper place for the re-read. Maybe a more dynamic way is not to
set out on a rigidly scheduled ,3 chapters a month, one year quest but to set the number of chapters
for the next month at the end of the previous. Then if a particular topic in uncovered like the
"freedom and order" issue in chapter three the group can elect to stop and discuss it while its fresh.
As far as rules I think what is needed is:
Focus on the designated chapters with the emphasis on:
1 What does he say?
2. What does he mean?
3. How do his claims square with others?
The only other consideration is that to read it "as if for the first time" references and arguments
based on chapters subsequent to the ones being read are not allowed, but use of previous chapters
and ZaMM are.

PS: When the Peoples Daily and the Pope start reading from the same script I guess we are entering
a new era. Maybe the twenty first century will be known as the " Era of Ancestral Apologies".
Imagine if you will that by 2050 instead of " Hi, Hello, Pleased to meet you" the acceptable global
greeting is an earnest, "Pardon me for my ancestors."
