Ask the members - solicit input with a broadcast message to everyone inviting responses, maybe from a list of possibilities or throw it wide open. Organizations do that for internal communications all the time.

How he does it - that's up to him as the new owner, I am more interested in what new directions he may have in mind, not trying to push my view on everyone since I am only one member. He obviously has ample means, and he said himself the monthly running costs are minimal.

Mission statement - if I were taking over a large Internet community, I would have an introductory statement in mind to inform people, outlining why I was taking over and what it could mean for everyone. But I used to work in public affairs so maybe I take a different view from a garage techie where Brad started out. He is now a wealthy garage techie with a large menu of possible moves ahead of him.

My final word on this subject is to ask that he makes a systematic effort to engage the members on SI's future instead of acting like one of the many previous owners who remained the Grand Wizard behind the curtain 99% of the time. GNET, ADVFN, Bob, they all kept the management exclusively at the top and close to the vest.

PS If I was a constant critic or griper about SI, I wouldn't have been here for almost 15 years with two major threads and a high 5-digit message count. My interest is helping to shape the future and make SI even better. But planning the process is up to Brad.
