curator in an non-museum organisation I is very beneficial to be able to float a
question or issue via CAN talk. There are so many experienced
museum, gallery and interpretation specialist out there and it seems a total
waste not to able to get comments, views and ideas from
them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it is early in the year, and I'm not yet too
busy to deal with this little irritation, I'll air it now. So could this
<U>please</U> go through for comment by those CAN talk is supposed to
serve - us, the subscribers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since Can Talk replaced the AMOL listing I've
tried several times to make comments, only to be told by the "gatekeeper" that
my comments were not appropriate or should be elsewhere. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've always considered this a forum,
especially useful for people like me who are isolated from their
colleagues and remote from the large centres. Over the years </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>I have really enjoyed the camaraderie we had. But our
little chats and comments have now gone. There's little "talk".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know we are all busy, and no-one appreciates
being bombarded by trivia, but really, if the only comments allowed relate to
obscure pieces of farm machinery, knitted doilies etc, then it becomes too dry
and discouraging of discussion.</FONT></DIV>
