Hello@Clawde & @TideisTurning , @TAB , @Arizona , @Former-Member , @Oaktree , @Sophia1
Thank you guys for the "Online Peer Group Chat" suggestion and, in particular @Clawde's rally to attend. Unfortunately, I was a long way from home at the time of the session. However, I have a few thoughts to offer.
The issue of difficulty in accessing the various "Online Peer Group Chat" sessions has been reported by several members over the past few months. Some members have reported that the difficulties have left them feeling excluded from some of the chat sessions, in which they would like to have been included. Some have reported that they were not only unable to access chat sessions as Active Participants, but not as Guest Members either.
I have written a fairly detailed "memo" that consititutes a request for this issue, among others, to be addressed.
It seems that access, by members, to these sessions, is so infrequent that when someone endeavours to rally a gathering, as @Clawde has done this evening, very few, if any of the people invited, knew, if they could have done anyway, how to access the session. As a result, questions are raised, whether well-founded or otherwise, as to the legitimacy of the format and hence the information offered.
This is not only a loss to forum members, in terms of valuable information distribution and sharing, but a loss to the forum as a whole, with respect to informed use and extent of use of the forum functions. Unfortunately, members may not be accessing the full range of forum functions because of artificial "barriers to access".
For Now, Best Wishes
