Re: Is everybody sure that I am a mature member

[Bruce Eggum <bruce.eggum(at)gmail.com>]

Dear Filia,
There were many problems with the old wddm, but people were certainly
encouraged to speak. Unfortunately they often did not, which led to
stand still's. Some important things were learned form that experience
I believe and those who now criticize it were usually not there.
Hopefully they will not repeat those errors.

Filia you can certainly say things and will be supported for doing so,
even if there is disagreement in what your view is. That is normal as
you know. Please, we need women's views and I do hope you help us
encourage other women to participate.

Please join, you can always say adios.
Bruce,

Hello everybody!
In the hindsight, it might have been really better to give this group a new
name, (as e.g. Franz Isemann suggested to the G. Sagi). When I hear now that
G. Kokkas still says that he is a spokesman for WDDM. G. Sagi was saying me
the same thing.
I worked on the WDDM renewal under this assumption that we will abandon all
those old unsolved, and apparently unsolvable petty disputes. Thus for me
all the old unofficial hierarchy was wiped out. Nobody registered any real
objections against this approach here except perhaps for George Sagi
recently.
So I think we should recognize the pioneering role the old WDDM had 5 years
ago, but try to avoid their later failures.
Thus we really start from a fresh beginning, and nobody should be afraid to
speak their minds. That's the only way we can achieve something new.
That's at least my position ...
