SUO: RE: Jon Awbrey's Postings
Jim:
1. I find them overwhelming. But that's because I feel obligated to skim all
of them,
after which I find that I need to read a few of them. So as painful as it
is, I'd
prefer to have them available. However, if you wanted to redirect them to
another list,
that would be ok with me, just as long as I could get to them.
2. I've learned a lot from Jon, and don't want his contributions excluded.
But again,
restricting them to another list would be fine with me.
3. I've posted some pretty lengthy emails myself, and will now take the
approach of
posting to the ONT list. If what triggers my posting is a comment in the SUO
list, I'll
post a brief email to the SUO list, saying that a longer reply can be found
on the ONT
list. Since my contributions focus on the philosophical aspects of our work,
the ONT list
is a perfectly good place for me to move to.
4. Jon's contributions aren't so easily segregated into a narrow subject
matter. But perhaps
he could take a similar approach to mine. Post a synopsis to the SUO list,
referencing a
longer analysis which would be posted to another list.
5. Also, there was some talk about creating sub-folders for contributors to
use to file their
own material, either lengthy emails to the SUO or other original material.
For my own work, I
think that would be helpful, to have it all gathered together in one place.
(Since I'm something
of a Johnny-One-Note, my emails tend to re-inforce one another.) Any chance
that can be done?
Thanks.
Tom

Subject: SUO: Jon Awbrey's Postings
SUO WG,
The nature and quantity of Jon Awbrey's postings continue to
generate complaints. And as in the past, he refuses to work with me to
arrive at an acceptable solution.
I feel it is time for me to take further action, but I need some
level of consensus from the group.
Question 1: Is there anyone who feels Jon should be allowed to
continue with the quantity and nature (as demonstrated over the past
couple years) of his postings?
Question 2: Does anyone object to me taking the position with
Jon, "Jon, cooperate with me off-line to resolve the quantity and nature
of your postings or you will be restricted from posting to the SUO list.
(But you will still be able to use the Ontology list, or start your own
list.)"
I'll leave these questions open until at least Tuesday of next
week.
Jim Schoening
