Greetings Sir! I really don't have any problem with a summary post. Even if it were simply a statistical count. I guess my biggest "concern" was in limiting the number of responses. Since so many of the issues discussed are so complex, I would rather be free to explore them in depth (as long as both parties agree - which is what I meant by civility). I like Norrie's suggestion! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim Moran (may I just call you Tim?), I can definately appreciate your point that many issues discussed on this forum are very complex, and need to be explored in depth. At the same time, you mentioned that it is important for "both parties" to be involved ("agree"). This is exactly the point that I'm trying to get across. When a new person to our forum posts a question, and then 40 people respond, I think that is not something that the original poster would have agreed to (as evidenced by the fact that they no longer choose to be involved at all). One of the things that I really admire about Jesus was that He was able to give people exactly the answers that they needed to hear. He didn't leave out critical information, but He also didn't answer each question with every detail that the scriptures contained on the subject. When the rich, young ruler asked what was required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus gave a relatively simple answer to him. If a new person asked that question on this forum, I guarantee that the responses would not be anywhere near as limited. Obviously, Jesus had the advantage of being able to know the hearts of the people He interacted with. However, I still think that we could as Christians, at least try to follow His example a little more closely. My suggestion is only my humble attempt to do this. |

Limited Responses: Greetings Sir! Just Tim would be great! I see what you are saying! I'm just not sure it is a great problem. At least it isn't for me! :-) What I try to do is to gauge the responses I get when I ask a question or post a note! Some require further explanation. Some are deadends! Some reveal individuals who want to discuss and explore, while others reveal individuals who are closed. So, I just try to go from there! I do like the summary idea! I also like the point that someone made about making the first line more descriptive so that one could browse the thread more easily. I tried this above to see how it looked and/or worked! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Switch to Improvements #4....................... Dear Tim, the idea of the more descriptive headings was originally brought to my attention by Jensen. In fact there is currently an unanswered question about it (Possible Lockman Forum Improvements #4). For it to work though, you have to put a bunch of periods after your heading, like I did at the beginning of this post. |
