I think your point is excellent, Angie, but I also think that Jan's and
others' point is that posters don't have the time to draw out other posters in
the way a mentor might. And that brings a question to mind: What if any
interested people on the list might informally arrange to rotate the "duties"
of a mentor on the list on a weekly or monthly basis among themselves? Then we
could all be assured that newcomers who may need mentoring are given the
proper attention. Any thoughts on this?
