WorldsAway Acolyte Meeting - September 16th, 1995
Dan Kuschner in this conversation is Oracle Teresias. This wasn't a typical Acolyte meeting, but one to discuss an issue with the avatar named MarvL and his wanting to create a constitution for WorldsAway that was causing issues amongst the staff and the users.
********** 9/16/95 8:37 PM Forum CO
Dan Kuschner | Okay, I would like to start the meeting now.
Indigo <busy> | Need that Turf Man!!!!
Dan Kuschner | <gavel falls>
Marianne G (Busy) | OUCH!
Nicci | LOL!
| I was gonna say that\
Marianne G (Busy) | ;;he gets me every time!;;
Dan Kuschner | This is not going to be a usual meeting.
Ed | Uh oh..
Dan Kuschner | I have a few things to say to set the tone
| and then we will have a
| structured round circle meeting.
| First, contrary to the rumor, this is not
| going to be a tactical
| planning meeting.
| I am not expecting to solve any issues in
| this one meeting.
| This meeting is more to epmhisize that we are
| a team with
| common goals and vision.
| Therefore, we will not be following the
| normal queue method
| tonight, but will go around the circle in a
| manner I will describe
| later.
| Because the Konstitution issues are very
| present in our thoughts,
| I wanted to answer Moria's post.
| (in absentia, I will post this immediately
| after)
| This has reached a point where the
| consequences of the situation are that one
| person is attempting to dictate to the
| service.
| The Oracles, as representatives of the
| service, will deal with this issue in an
| authoritative (not authoritarian) manner.
| The Acolytes are aked to refrain exhibiting
| authoritarian moves.
| Let the Oracles take any heat which might be
| generated.
| The Oracles ask the Acolytes for their
| support by continuing to maintain
| communiations with the Oracles and offering
| their observations and opinions.
| Is there anyone who does not know what issue
| I am talking about? Speak
| now.
| Last call.
Milen | Well...
Dan Kuschner | Yes?
Milen | ...I've not read the file because I've not
| gotten Acrobat Reader yet...
| ...but I know MarvL, and I have a general
| idea of what you're talking about.
Dan Kuschner | That's good enough for now.
| Anyone else?
Marianne G (Busy) | I haven't read it either, but I have heard
| excerpts :D
Dan Kuschner | Let me describe the method in which the
| meeting will be conducted.
Marianne G (Busy) | Plus have seen many of his board posts
| leading up to it
Dan Kuschner | We will proceed in alphabetical order.
| I will begin. With the floor, I will state
| 2-3 sentences.
| I will end my statement with <done>.
| Then I will pass the floor to the next person.
| They will speak 2-3 sentences. (Statements
| or rhetorical questions only)
Brynne <busy> | (Can I change my name to Zebra, please? ;D)
Chameleon<busy>:) | no you dont!!!<G>
Dan Kuschner | Once they send <done>, I will pass the floor
| to the next person on the list.
| Once a round is completed, I will comment as
| Oracle.
| Then I will take the floor as an equal and a
| new round will begin.
| Remember that all our words, once spoken,
| have a life of their own and should be
| spoken from the heart.
Ravenwhyte (busy) | Awesome.
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Dan.
| I personally have been feeling pretty frayed
| and some of it stems from the feeling
| that we are drifting apart.
| We alll seem to have the same basic idea, but
| it feels we are splitting once we hit
| the details.
| I want to be able to give everyone wnat they
| want and am trying to deal with the
| reality that I can't.
| <done>
| The floor passes to Brynne.
Brynne <busy> | I personally have been feeling very
| frustrated,
| because since I have been on this staff, I
| haven't
| really seen a lot of teamwork being displayed.
| Sometimes I feel that we're all trying to
| compete with
| each other -- who's more of a leader than the
| next.
| And this disturbs me because I think we all
| have
| strengths that others may not have, and we
| can
| balance each other and bring out the BEST we
| each
| have to offer. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Chameleon.
Chameleon<busy>:) | although I know people invariably form
| clinches among themselves, I am
| sorry to see signs of people actually seeming
| to put down their fellow
| teammates. And I think our Oracles have been
| stretched a bit thin, and
| maybe we are sometimes a bit demanding
| no they cant keep everybody happy, and
| sometimes its easy to think me me
| me and not whats its costing the one
| providing, myself included<done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Data.
Data <Busy> | We all have our own opinion about various
| things. It is SO hard to bring a
| group this size in and find pure
| harmony. The thing to do is not to look for
| what is wrong with an idea
| but...
| maybe what is right with it. All of us have
| some good ideas and I think
| we need to keep up a positive attitude
| always. Even in our lowest
| moments.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ed.
Ed <Busy> | I think that we should all start by making
| sure that we show
| each other as much common coertesy that we
| ca...
| Even in our bad moments and...We should all
| respect each
| other as peers
| Not as leaders or followers, we must work
| together as one
| We all have varied talents that maek up the
| whole
| And to diminish that in any way hurts all of
| us <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Electra.
Electra | Perhaps I am too naieve, or too blind, but I
| have always felt
| that I have been treated well by each and
| every one on the
| staff. Everyone contributes in their own
| way, which is what
| a team is, after all.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to the bride. <g>
Indigo <busy> | At the top of our inworld organization right
| now are our dear
| Oracles who are struggling worse than we are.
| And as
| swamped and overloaded. This trickles
| down..... and we
| Acolytes in Kymer, are mystified at all the
| difficulties we face
| and the seeming necessity laid upon us to
| create an
| environment for the good of humankind and as
| a foundation for
| the future. In my opinion, this is a result
| of it being a
| commercial venture. The Oracles are doing
| their best. They
| care. We need to support them by supporting
| each other.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Libra.
Indigo <busy> | <smile>
Libra (busy) | I am increasingly frustrated by the fact that
| we are letting our emotions get in the way of
| ourselves.
| We all have emotions and strong ones (me
| included) but we need to be able to let our
| emotions play themselves out before reacting
| to the world and to each other.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Marianne.
Marianne G (Busy) | I don't want to feel like I have to fight
| with my friends,
| and you all are my friends. If I knew you
| before, if
| I've only known you shortly, when I sign on
| to a
| team, I sign on to be part of a team. We all
| want the
| same goal, I know it. We are all people with
| ideas,
| opinions and different ways of dealing with
| issues.
| Life is finding a way to deal with,
| compromise on,
| give and take on issues so the common goals
| are
| met. I respect everyone here, and optimist
| that I am,
| I KNOW there is a workable solution to
| everything.
| We just can't always see it. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Milen.
Milen | Can't think of much to say. Struggling to
| keep up with reading all this.
| Go on without me.
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Mysteria.
Mysteria | First, I like you all so very much. <s> But
| sometimes I sense some competition among the
| staff over who is the "best" Acolyte, or
| the one who organizes the most games, etc.
| That has left me feeling exhausted and upset,
| and I did not want to "burn out,"
| so I took much of this week off. I hope
| others will feel it's okay to do the same
| when they need to. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Nicci.
Nicci (busy) | I came online yesterday after spending the
| week away
| from here and I litterally felt lost. I felt
| like such an
| outsider and all I could think of was how
| stupid this
| was. After a couple of conflicts and hurt
| feelings I
| found out that I wasn't the only person who
| felt like this
| and the others didn't miss a week like I did.
| I think we
| have comunication problems within our group
| and the
| result is that people feel alienated. It's
| all
| misunderstandings but the real result is that
| people
| are getting hurt. We really need to pull
| together. The
| burn out thing is a big thing too. People are
| pushing
| too hard. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ravenwhyte.
Ravenwhyte (busy) | I wish that all the others from our team were
| here, and I apprecite this intimate forum
| where all voices may be heard. I feel torn
| between what is viewed as a business at the
| Fujitsu angle, yet has nothing to do with
| business on a personal level.
| We are all to a great extent in the same
| boat, we are all asked to take risks
| We are all networked.
| As servants of Kymer, we are asked to pu the
| good of the community before our own personal
| desires.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Rosaleah.
Rosaleah <busy> | :: sorry, thinking ... :: ;)
| I think (heh) what I want to say is that I
| wish we'd all talk to each other more ...
| to remember to help each other as much as we
| would any avatar out there. What's going
| on in the World? Anybody to keep an eye on?
| Someone need special attention/help?
| And what sorts of things are working well for
| you ... they'll likely work well for others
| too. I,
| for one, appreciate the sharing. <done>
Dan Kuschner | Commentary as Oracle:
| Though each of us, Oracles included, feel
| frustrated because our desire for
| efficient control cannot be fulfilled, our
| greatest contribution to the strength of the
| team is our own sincerity.
| I thank you for sharing tonight.
| Constructing a consensual evolution of even
| the most worthwhile vision is not
| easy.
| It requires mutual respect and an emphasis on
| cooperation, not competition.
| By not focusing on competition, it is
| possible to meet mutually exclusive goals
| such as business and building the vision of
| community.
| The next round may be used to air views
| regarding the MarvL/Konsitiution
| situation.
| The floor passes to Dan (as participant).
| As frustrating as he can be and as far as
| this has gone, I deeply feel there is a lot
| of good and growth for the community which
| can come from this.
| That's been my light at the end of the tunnel.
| <done>
| The floor passes to Brynne.
Brynne <busy> | ::thinking here ... one moment please::
| On the Marv situation: my only emotion here
| is a
| deep concern about his dictatorial style and
| its
| overall effect on the future of WA.
| I know he is a great motivator, and if his
| energy
| could be channeled in a more positive
| direction, I
| think he would be good for WA.
| Unfortunately, however, I believe he is a
| manipulator
| and will tell someone anything just to get
| that
| person off his real goal. As a result, I feel
| Marv is
| actually a danger to the future of WA. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Chameleon.
Chameleon<busy>:) | I think this meeting has been the best thing
| that has happened in a long
| time here! especially the way it is being
| done. I am not worried about MarvL
| but what he is doing. He seems to like
| causing us to be at odds more than
| anything else. Surely we can band closer
| together, and not let something
| like this seperate us further. I am sure this
| is the first of many such
| problems. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Data.
Data <Busy> | I am unclear on whether MarvL's intent is to
| get a rise out of us or he has
| blinded himself into believing FCT is just
| going to hand the service over
| to him. Whatever the case, I am not going to
| let it bother me. I have faith
| in the Oracles that the situation will be
| handled correctly. He is a
| customer and I will give him that respect
| always.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ed.
Ed <Busy> | I think that we should let the citizens
| decide what they want, after
| all, we are in their service
| I also believe that Marv's ideas could create
| a lot of growth
| But I just don't feel comfortable with the
| way he words things
| and
| The way he goes about them
| It's my opinion that he is very subversive
| We should concentrate on sticking together
| instead of MravL
| Marv! oops!
| We must also remember that he is also a
| customer.. But..
| I don't think we should just hand him
| everything he wants on a
| silver platter
| We should let the citizens decide what they
| want ..... that's the
| bottom line <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Electra.
Electra | I find it almost incomprehensible that a
| single person can be
| the focus of so much time and energy. I
| wonder if it's not
| the attention that he feeds on? And is
| anyone besides the
| Oracles and Acolytes paying any serious
| attention to him
| and his dictates? <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Indigo.
Indigo <busy> | As soon as the ability to have * more* than
| acceptable or
| agreed upon power over others, as this seems
| to have turned
| into for MarvL, predominates, all
| civilizations start to deteriorate
| and the original purpose becomes buried. As
| this civilization is
| both altruistic and commercial, we need to
| find a solution which
| accommodates MarvL as a customer, but is firm
| in direction for
| the good of all the community.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Libra.
Libra (busy) | I have been personally very frustrated by the
| MarvL situation. On the one hand he is a
| tremendous source of good...helping newbies
| inworld and out, creating one of the best
| entertainments in town (Town Criers),
| generating excellent debate in the forum, and
| most importantly having an alter ego (Avatar
| #2) who in my opinion is an excellent
| citizen of the community.
| On the other hand, he has used some tactics
| which are underhanded and suggest an
| ulterior motive which for the life of me I
| can't figure out (my main frustration is
| that).
| So, what I have been trying to do is harness
| the beast in him by befriending him
| (legitimately, I consider him a friend) and
| trying to understand him. Let me say I am no
| more enlightened now than I was before, but I
| hate to say this...I like him. He may be a
| PITA, but he can be a very enjoyable person
| to be with. <sigh> Libra's don't take well to
| this.
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Mairanne.
Marianne G (Busy) | What if they hold an election and no one
| comes?
| Would you vote for a dictatorship? If
| phrased in
| glowing terms perhaps. BUT, would you then
| spend time in that kind of oppresive society?
| I don't
| think so. So what happens if he holds the
| election
| and nothing changes? Win, lose or draw,
| nothing
| changes? I mean, someone can say they have
| the
| power, but when they do not have the
| mechanism
| for power, ie: tools to run the community,
| who is
| going to pay attention to what you say? No
| election
| is going to give him what he seeks. As for
| what he
| WANTS, if it's attention, he certainly has
| it :D I don't
| see him as a threat, because I don't see his
| election being anything more then
| entertainment. If
| he manages to cause disent in our ranks,
| among
| us, when before we were so perfectly meshed,
| then
| he has created a loss far greater then giving
| him
| actual power could. That is the only threat I
| see from
| him. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Milen.
Milen | MarvL. What can I say? He's smart. He's
| clever. He's funny. His
| arguments cause headaches in laboratory
| studies. And he's
| oh-so-sneaky. I could tell you a story about
| that, but I cannot safely
| relate it from this idenity. But, from
| someone who knows: beware, beware,
| beware. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Mysteria.
Mysteria | Well, I think MarvL is nuttier than a
| fruitcake -- which is his right. <g>
| However, he doesn't have the right to impose
| his vision
| on everyone else. I don't think 99.9% of
| avatars are interested in his Konstitution,
| or any kind of WA government. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Nicci.
Nicci (busy) | I agree with Mysteria. Sure customers have
| rights and so MarvL
| has rights...
| but I've already read a message speaking out
| against the need
| for the Konstitiution....
| the avarage customer is going to have no need
| for it...
| and so we just have to keep MarvL in check so
| that they are not
| effected by his politics. I don't know. I
| don't think anyone can
| control MarvL <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ravenwhyte.
Indigo <busy> | Ravenwhyte gracefully terminated for the
| moment, sorry.
Ravenwhyte (busy) | I do not know MarvL well, so I am not in the
| front line with him as yet. I am willing to
| take a more active role in engaging him
| positively, but would appreciate some
| direction to that end. I admire his passion,
| but am challenged, at times, to respect
Indigo <busy> | He did indeed crash - those lines made it up
| there as it was
| happening. He'll BRB!
Ravenwhyte | Sorry, HDD spindown
| to respect the way he chooses to channel that
| passion
| I believe he has a place in our growing
| community
| But it is ever so difficult to draw the line
| between the good of the few and the good of
| the many.
| Not an easy job, I tip my hat. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Rosaleah.
Rosaleah <busy> | I'm surprised that the community hasn't
| challenged MarvL's ideas more. For instance,
| I've been waiting for someone to propose an
| alternate "Konstitution" and gov't plan ...
| even a *very silly* one (actually,
| *especially* a silly one). But the whole
| gov't plan idea is
| rather a pre-emptive one right now --
| proposed way too soon for most to have a good
| sense of what's being proposed / done. The
| World, after all, is just beginning...and
| most
| are far, far more interested in fun than in
| governments...and he's taking advantage of
| that. I wholeheartedly agree that he seems to
| want to divide us ... and to crave gobs and
| gobs of attention ... attention stolen, in
| the long run, from the many, many other
| customers of the service. I _do_ think he's
| delusional if he really thinks FCT is going
| to
| just hand over the running of the service
| over to him. I don't fear *that* for a
| minute!
| I wish I knew how to turn his energy into
| something more positive ... but I fear I
| don't have
| a handle on that at all. <done>
Dan Kuschner | Commentary as Oracle:
| It's pretty clear that we recognize that
| someone like MarvL has two aspects: That
| of community participant and that of
| potential serious threat.
| Our response should be to encourage the
| community participant while protecting
| our community from potential serious threat
| at the same time.
| Our primary defense is that of the
| cohesiveness of our community, particularly
| the Acolytes and Oracles as caretakers.
| Correction: Our primary strength is our
| cohesiveness.
| There are enough seemingly exclusive aspects:
| we should think on what
| everyone has said for now.
| I intend to have a personal talk with MarvL
| next chance I catch him in the world.
| We can use the next round to state any
| intentions we may have and care to
| share.
| The floor passes to Dan (as participant).
| I intend to be in the world more, both
| officially and socially, to try to strengthen
| my ties to the community.
| When I feel my frustration rising, I intend
| to remember the solidarity showed in
| tonight's meeting.
| <done>
| The floor passes to Brynne.
Brynne <busy> | My desire is a simple one. I would like to
| see us all
| functioning as a *real* team. To that end, I
| plan to be
| as supportive of each of you as I would like
| you to be
| of me. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Chameleon.
Chameleon<busy>:) | <picturing Oracle Teresias as he spreads
| himself thinner and thinner>. I feel
| so good about this meeting tonight, and
| appreciate each and every one of
| you views that have been shared with me and
| all of us. I too will think of this
| meeting when I feel down and disassociated,
| and will remember I do have
| friends here.
| As to Marv, I will continue to do what I have
| been doing.
| Kill him with kindness
| its seems to have the desired effect<EG>
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Data.
Data <Busy> | I believe in the potential of our team....
| I believe working together we can accomplish
| anything....
| My highest goal is to work hard with our team
| and to do all I can to help
| us bond together....
| Remember the old addage, "United we stand,
| divided we fall".
Indigo <busy> | To have the Oracles more inworld and more
| accessible will
| help to disseminate the tension. We should
| together give that
| as much positive attention and support as
| possible, drawing
| the focus away from any serious negative
| effects from
| MarvL's behavior. By offering the gold
| pieces of positive
| communal effort, the pennies of negative
| attention will be
| dropped. Yes, killing with kindness
| everywhere... way to go!
Data <Busy> | If I can do anything to help PLEASE tell me.
| If I have any needs I'll do
| likewise...
| let's just always be there for each other.
| <done>
Indigo <busy> | <Oh no, sorry...>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ed.
Ed <Busy> | I intend to keep my loyalties where they
| belong, with all of you
| and with the citizens of Kymer, as I have in
| the past
| It is my intention to continue with
| everything I have doneto this
| point
| doneto=doing
Chameleon<busy>:) | they really are married now, Indi is
| finishing his sentences!!>sorry had to say
| it>
Ed <Busy> | And to expand on it as much as possible.
| And to each and every one of you I extend my
| helping hand if it is
| needed
| Just ask
| And I'll be there if I can
| <done>
Chameleon<busy>:) | oops wrong box<sigh> my appoligies Ed I am so
| sorry.
Ed <Busy> | LOL!!!
| No problem!
| I'm easy to get along with
| It happens
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Electra.
Electra | I intend to make sure that my words and
| actions always
| reflect well upon the Oracles, the Acolytes,
| and the
| community. I will do whatever is within my
| power to help
| each and every one of you in whatever way I
| can. I don't
| know what more any of us can do but to pledge
| to do our
| best. <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Indigo.
Marianne G (Busy) | Data, wasn't that a song? (One I now can't
| get out of
| my head). Anyway, I'm working on fitting in
| a
| scheduled time for assorted word and other
| games,
| called LETS TRY IT (or will work on that
| title) to work
| out various games for the community. As you
| know,
| with my memory leak, I need it to be a set
| time each
| week, cause otherwise I forget. I hope that
| you'll
| help with input, assistance running, if
| needed, etc,
| and in turn, the events will be worked out
| and when
| working, be available for all to use inworld.
| I truly
| believe that when we are seen as workers,
| helpers, friends, in the community, that it
| will
| strenghten not only us with each other, but
| the
| community with us, and keep things like this
| current
| situation from ever reaching this point.
| Drat, sorry, was not suppose to hit enter
| ;;sigh;;
Dan Kuschner | The floor is still with Indigo.
Indigo <busy> | <grinning sheepishly> To have the Oracles
| more inworld will
| be awesome! We'll drop those dark old
| pennies, and so will
| the rest of the community. (scroll up to
| read my original
| statement).
| Our strength is in our commitment to the good
| of all and to
| each other! <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Libra.
Libra (busy) | I promise four things (1) To stop being such
| a control freak and relax a
| little...I can't be involved in every
| situation everywhere (2) To continue to
| trust you all as friends as teammates...that
| means assuming that
| whatever you say to me is meant in a spirit
| of friendship and team spirit
| (3) To continue to speak honestly about how I
| see the world but making
| sure it comes across in the spirit of
| frinedship and team spirit it is
| meant and (4) To sit back, watch and listen
| more...taking my time
| before reacting (5) To stop enumerating
| lists of things all the time (I am
| beginning to annoy myself with this too) (6)
| To take a lesson in
| mathematics...this was six I promised four
| <g>.
| Go team!
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Marianne.
Marianne G (Busy) | It is almost 2 in the morning for me people.
| I beg
| forgivness :D Anyway, what I said before,
| and
| before I go to sleep, I hope we have many,
| many
| years together as friends and workers and
| think that
| if you add cornstarch, it thickens things up,
| and
| maybe we can add them to the Oracles blood
| and
| they won't be spread so thin? <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Milen.
Milen | Well, yesterday and today were two of the
| worst days I've ever had. I
| crashed *so* many times it was surreal. It
| was about on a level with those
| early, dark, pre-revision beta days, except
| that this time I was the only one
| crashing. I felt so alone, so left behind,
| and so *frustrated*. I came
| awsomely close to just dropping out right now
| and resigning it was getting
| so bad. In fact, I would have except for
| just a few things. Their names are
| Data, Indigo, Nicci, Ravenwhyte, VIQer....
| You all got me through a rough
| time. I'm sure that we can handle anything
| that comes our way, and,
| wallet willing, I'm all set to forge ahead.
| MarvL? Bring'em on! I eat three
| MarvL's for breakfast!
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Mysteria.
Mysteria | I intend to focus my WA activities on
| generating fun -- for those around me, and
| for myself. I hope we'll all guard against
| allowing Acolytehood to become a chore, and
| try to keep perspective on its role in our
| lives.
| This IS supposed to be fun, right? <s>
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Nicci.
Nicci (busy) | Back to the communication breakdown issue. We
| need to work
| on this because MarvL assumes that we don't
| have
| communicaion between us. He tries to work on
| us individually.
| And when we prove him wrong and stand by each
| other he turns
| it around so it looks like MarvL vs. the
| Acolytes (which in a lot of
| ways it is but that is not becuase of the the
| title, but becuase we
| are the ones encountering problems with him
| most frequently
| since we are so active in the world). We need
| to really plan
| ahead and keep each other informed on this
| issue. We have to
| have at least an appearece of unity when
| MarvL appoaches us
| each indiviudally. We really need to think
| ahead and to
| communicate with each other <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Ravenwhyte.
Ravenwhyte | I am so glad to know you all better through
| your sincere sharing. Please do not ever
| hesitate to call on me for help.
| It cannot be truly understood what it takes
| to support the community as we do until we
| have walked here, in these Halls together
| (huh? <g>).
| I hope to continue to represent us as we are,
| servants of the community . . . (Have I got
| VC claening detail again?)
| And dang! is this fun!
| <done>
Dan Kuschner | The floor passes to Rosaleah.
Rosaleah <busy> | I, too, appreciate the sharing tonight, very
| much. And offer my helping hand (and Razz's
| too) whenever and wherever I can. <done>
Dan Kuschner | (Final) Commentary as Oracle:
| I want to thank you all for participating in
| this different meeting tonight.
| It showed that we are, indeed, a team with
| common goals and vision.
| I feel better.
| One last thing: I want to thank Oracle Uni
| who has guided me through this new
| experience tonight.
