Suggestions may get ignored because we are a headless bunch. If you are looking for Martyn, John, Adam, myself or anyone else to say "Yes, I beknight the idea with the power of ALUG" then it won't happen.
No no, I can assure you that that is not what I was looking for :-)
If you want people to say "yes, this is a good idea, please do it and let us know how to help you" then that often happens. I'd love more people to throw ideas in and comment on the ideas of others.
Yes, that is the sort of general response that seems lacking. Not sure that 'often happens' is accurate.
It's the "doing it" that seems to be the stumbling block. I don't really understand why and it is frustrating, indeed.
Perhaps connected with the general lack of interest shown, as discussed above? Do people feel motivated or demotivated if suggestions don't get a broad response of 'yes, good idea, why not go ahead?' Obvious answer: demotivating. No-one will arrange something if apparently no-one is interested. That is the sole point I have been trying to make in this discussion.
Anyway, must go to bed. Guess there's not a lot more to say really! And if/when I have less going on then I'll see what I can arrange, assuming that some interest is shown.
