Speaking of crystal clear openness, perhaps we should just clear-itize a few simple things. For the sake of others, newcomers, willing leaners, and myself, who has already lagged behind the last half a page of this vivacious discussion, here is a questionnaire directed Fordim and any others who think they know the answers, just for the sake of pure, untainted clarity.
1) What is the level of organization for these 'chunky' discussions? Will we have already planned what level of time is to be put into each tier of chapter discussion. I know too much planning will water down the enjoyment, but how will the levels be kept track of? Begin and end? I realize that no discussion may ever entirely end, but how will we go about the process?
2) What sort of things will be discussed? Just very general stuff, themes, language, and the like? Will any discussions be a bit more thematic than others? More specific, or focused, perhaps?
3) What members have we currently? As this is not 'exclusive' I suppose there really is no 'club' merely members who wish to try their hand. Does this mean that anyone can openly discuss something, make a new point, or is there an appointed amount of folks who will reign over each of the chapter levels?
That's all I can concoct for now. Must...compose...thoughts...adequately...
