where would we go from here
Wow, the fact that all of you, SL, Inasy, Fereydoon, and Cyrus, have written longer than usuall comments about my prropostition, shows that there is an interest and value to what I have proposed amongst you. so, where do we go from here?
I probably did n ot frame my intentions in a right way, by calling it a News Paper, maybe a Soap Box would have been a better metaphor. I have no 0wishes to try to appeal to masses and God know as Cyrus said there are enough out there who do that. I am thinking of a more selective highly intelligent, maybe arisic individualls that can not get their fix amongst the crowd of the site that are out there. We would like to reach people who read more special and unique periodicals and Journals. We will not be binded by any 0special groups,religiously or politically, we want to celebrate mainly Human beings, and o0ffer our takes of our own advantures on this earth for the time we have been allowed. We want to deal with our audiance at much higher level. And I think the diversity o0f the people behind this would help us cover many bases. We could 0deal with every day life and news on the planet also0 but not as a place to report i0t but to editorialise it. We would choose topics, and we also will choose amongst us and editor, who will have the say in the direction or editorials, and the approval of them, and since I am suggesting this I would recuse myself from ever taking that title or responsibility. Also remember we do not have to refresh the site and make addition on daily bases, we could do that weekly or monthly.
Again this is my view, my suggestion, we are discussing it and we need as much feed back as you can offer. I also 00do not think we will do this to the extent that it would take over our daily lives and our other concerns. so let me know, for I am very interested to hear from you, and learn about your vision of this enterprise.

OK... Before you start excluding me by making this new venture only for the highly intelligent, or getting into "assignments" like who is the editor in chief I like to make another proposition. Think small, and think focused, and for heavens sake don't make this a poll-taking democratic process! I'm sure to all of us the fact that you wish to include us is appreciated but I'll tell you from my experience nothing is as ineffective and tiring than product design by commitee (same goes for product naming - shudder the thought). I for one will be running from this so fast you won't even see my mouse trail!
Since you and Fereydoon are the two bloggers and kindred spirits with the broad shoulders why don't you guys put your heads together offline to see what, if any, your common grounds of interest might produce and whether it makes sense. This will be a lot harder than you think!

Cyrus, your post was great:
"nothing is as ineffective and tiring than product design by committee (same goes for product naming - shudder the thought)."
Been there done that. In a few cases they're still working on the name...
