11. OK, I doubt that VERY many people lurk to see "the opposite shore". I did, and you did, but we're not "average"

A public forum might be the answer, or how about the opposite?

Closing the activist hq forum and perhaps some of the more personal ones, to be members-only. (then we get fly-by-night new members. Oh well)

I am a mostly trusting person but grew up in a (redacted) east coast city and when my Dad ran for City Council, I saw the "spies" at meetings.

No biggie. Those days were obviously before ANY connectivity existed other than telephones and the local newspaper.

Just throwing some ideas out there for discussion.
