Fw: Group Read: BLEEDING EDGE: The Cutting Edge

One of the historically best features of the P-list has been its anarchy.
 No moderators. No rules? Mob rule? At least no guns.  But lots of flames,
mostly in past days.

I have to admit that I succeeded in being ejected from the P-list once, for
causing crankiness in our online host.  My exile lasted about an hour.  Go
Ask Alice about anonymity's fun.

I reject the role of leader in this new group read.  What I have tried to
offer is my experience in group reads (GRs) here from many years back.  Not
rushing it is my advice.  What is the hurry.  But the SPOILER alert allows
for exuberance unbearable.  And P-list terrorist are really just puppies
needing love.

In the words of a better voice,
Love,
David Morris
