Weaving the RUG..... >>To answer your question about "ready to pull the RUG", no I'm not. Regarding RUG (or whatever it may be named) I am very interested in being a part of, and doing what I can to help organize, a quasi user/investors group, but it has to have broad appeal and involvement to be meaningful. I don't hink we are at that stage just yet. And actually I'm starting to enjoy what appears to be a significant transformation within Novell. Maybe a transformation being fueled from inside. Thats good as the heats always higher at the center of the fire. As for shareholder initiatives....some perespective may be in order. If the voices on this thread represent more than 2 or 3% of the shares I would be amazed. While we could be annoying being effective is a whole other issue. Don T.>> Don: RUG is a metaphor for the energies, thoughts, ideas, suggestions from individuals who openly risk and share with others on this forum. You don't have to "get organized" for the nature of the net's energy is disorganization and chaos. But when more of us understands the energy, belief, risk and truth needed to transform the disorganized chaos of disparate data and information that's shared here into something more cohesively whole and black and white, the value of even a disorganized RUG will be individually centric to it's various members. There are individuals on this thread who come from a variety of backgrounds: some are working for others, some are working for themselves, some are retired while some are painfully clutching their deflated Novell shares having hoped to retire. Please don't think I'm saying "you" have to take on this entire responsibility. But there is a common ONE voice that - through the smoke, fire and fog - many of us can articulate from what's been shared. The interesting thing about communities is that they are very much reflective of the passions, energies, hopes and beliefs of something much, much larger at work behind the scenes. Call it a spirit, energy or power - whatever. But every community has a core balance where all truth and energy balances levels out as ONE. Being humble and sensitive enough to find this core and respect it while sharing it with others - but not possesing it - is key. Too many "groups" are politically motivated. There's an fixed agenda and a list of marching orders. The real world of truth and openness repells this stuff. People are turned off by politics and agendas. But we each are sensitive to the truth and we all want to see progress through cooperations instead of wars and hate. Don, I have no interest in being part of a political fixed pie agenda. But I do want to openly help, serve and share in anyway I can to help this community evolve, grow and thrive. Peace. GO!!
