You should be proud - without denigrating other people's contributions over the years - of trying to set a wide context for the ET agenda that includes the humanities.

Write what you know - or think you know (I do) ;-) IMO every subject has some relevance to ET simply because anything that interests an ET member becomes a community interest - even in disagreement.

The difficulty is that we don't always have a clear separation between community stuff (play) and what we want to analyse and externalize (work). This can be confusing for newcomers.

Hopefully the series you have begun will lead to a more concise message of ET's intent - a mission statement if you will - that might exclude a few visitors, but clarify our stance for a lot more people in a way that motivates greater involvement.

I am particularly concerned that it is not clear that there are many ways to contribute to ET. We have a wide talent base, but we havent yet found a way to use the potential.

You can't be me, I'm taken
