At this time, this is just one forum I'm working on as a replacement for Twitter. I'm hoping to structure this so that is someone asks me a question on another forum, I can see it here and respond so that anyone on any forum I'm connected to can see my response. That may be pie in the sky, but I'm told it's possible.

I have limited time and I'd like to spend it on doing things I enjoy - working on my projects, spending time with family and friends, responding to people genuinely interested in what I'm doing or curious about something I worked on in the past.

I'd also like this to be a space where people can discuss subjects freely without the conversation degenerating into a flame war. People can agree to disagree in a civil manner. I don't mind criticism directed at me as long as it's done in a constructive manner, whereas saying "you suck" adds nothing to the conversation.

This will be an evolutionary process for me as I figure things out regarding the best means of interacting with my audience.

I think your doing a good job Ken.I feel I understand more clearly what's going on.I think before I didn't have the whole idea but it took awhile to mentally put it all together into a clear enough picture.But I'm caught up now I've got it.
