too many sub divsions in structure of board...

mididoctors · 11-24-2004, 20:14 PM

security and political issues have a greater degree of connectivity than implied by the board/forum structure..

for instance the subdivsions by region are a simplification or bias that hinders analysis of issues.

EG euro issues are not totally seperate from asia ones and cross referencing between topics is a both a tiresome and a false distinction that perhaps limits thinking.

juggling the balls is the situation

throw it all into a pot stir and see what comes out

Be adventurous, learn to explore, exercise the little gray cells through memory use...

Besides, if we followed that suggestion, we'd have to call the new section the "Global Domination Through Coorporate Imperialism by the American VAST Right-Wing Conspiracy" forum, and that's cumbersome.

Horrido,

Why don't you start that thread.

Maybe it will be great fun!

At least our fingers will be exercised, if not our MacDonald and Colonel's Kentucky Chicken bellies.

Geez Ray you've been a busy boy, i logged on and you have a post in every section! Glad im not the only opinion hog around here, you make me look apathetic

About the layout, i was actually very glad to see it that way, instead of a whole heap of different regional isues jammed into one. It sorta makes me feel at home when i go into the Asian section , and a tourist in the others, its a virtual holiday. Now if those sub-continentals would just shut up about the bloody tea!

Upside-down, inside-out... Either way, the message should be understandable.

Forum Layout and divisions are fine IMHO.
