Mr. Saidykhan,

This was well said. "The company of different ideas makes the feast."  I think the forum will be less absorbing
if it turns out to operate on a single surface.
I know many people who want to be part of the
debate on the GL, individuals with quantity of ideas,
but perceives  the forum as hostile and 
unpropitious. 
I don´t know what the list managers can do to 
provide the forum with an incentive for diverse
ideas, opinions and principles, rather than 
everyone thinking the same. 
We need to motivate people with different ideas
to take part in the debates,  instead of driving them away.

Thanks for sharing!
SSJawara.
