I get letters from folks every day and I simply don't have time to answer them all. I could use some help answering them. Like today, I have at least a dozen letters from folks who are interested in things were' doing and I just don't have the time to do them justice. If you're so inclined, would help me respond to some of these folks letters? I'll repint them here with an email address so that you can write them if you feel so inclined.

From: mailto://tdroog@worldaccess.nl (Thea Droog) Nice meeting you again. I did not visit EM. I'll tell you why. The webb is verry new for me. I'm 59 years old, always interested in computers, but I have no experiance, till now. It's verry hard working, I can tell you, just to make things go. In the first 4 months I have this machine I already have had crah on 3 modems. I had not the slightes idee what was: a server, java, download etc, etc. Just name it and I did not know. And when I entered the web I was overwhelmed. I wish to meet people but I find it difficult to express myself on the web. I can tell you somethin about myself. I'm working four days a week, have a house and a lovely garden to work in. I look once a week after my grandchilderen, have two cats. I like painting, bridge and making clothes. I'm interested in sciences, ( my son lives in Mexico, Sonnora, is a fysicisit and my doughter is an astronomer ) in literature, in politics and in philosophy. And I'm always interested in something I don't know. So if you can help me to find the right groups and feel myself comfortable I will thank you . I hope I will hear from you. Thank you for your wishes for the holliday season and the same to you. Thea Droog

Hey, thanks, haven't had a chance to check out everything, but I will, soon. What I do like to do is rant and rave about stupid things in the news, like the cop in Cleveland arresting that lady for being a Good Samaritan. I do have a web page at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/ Plains/2762 and I do work on it when I have time. mailto://chuck@olg.com

From: Budry Darius mailto://bud5@total.net Well my stay was brief and I didn't have good look yet... I can tell you that I like talking about VRML, Java and most of the subjects you cover I'll tell you what I don't like in the future, after I analyse the site No I don't have my own page, no time to build one yet...

from mailto://cicely@prairienet.org Absolutely! This is a perfect excuse for me to finally check out the Spring, too. :) And thank you for your kind remarks. As a web designer and part-time writer, I'm always fidgety about the content on the Web and elsewhere with my name attached to it. It's good to see that my efforts spark interest. I'd like to see more book discussion topics, software and hardware discussion topics, human rights discussion topics, alternative living topics (as in, alternative to the frantic, dual-job, no-time, guilt-ridden, lackluster half lives that folks in my age group seem to be doomed to lead,) and space exploration topics. I think it's interesting that there's really only one topic that is patently about things Non Technologicaly related. And it's not really all that huge. I'm honored that you're interested in my input for the Spring and pleased that you've initiated this "outside" contact. It's always exciting for me to get email from EMinds folks. It proves that EMinds really works. I wish you peace in this season and a lucky new year, Andrea Andrea Foster Member Services Coordinator, Prairienet -= boch ghlchraj =- http://www2.vivid.net/~cicely/self/

mailto://t.robb@rmcnet.fr Living in Europe I like to find sites with a European content - theres US stuff everywhere. I come from Sydney and welcomed to chance to check in on the old home town. I tend to spend my time off the Web and on the (fairly) technical newsgroups - so I've never bothered with a HP. Sorry I'm not much help, but I'll check out your site & be in touch if I have any ideas!

From: Linda Mae-Richardson mailto://linda@olywa.net Holidays are shaping up nicely: Family, Friends Food and Frolic. My kid's wish lists are growing longer than my recently-post-student budget could allow, but they still recall the days when I spoiled them silly and worked my butt off at a high-stress position. I went to a family Christmas event at a church last night and it reminded me, again, that Christmas is more about a babe than gifts. I just keep forgetting. And, again, made me realize how much I'm looking forward to being a gramma in April ... my daughter has become a teen-pregnancy statistic and I'm actually trying to remain it the excited, anticipatory, wider-world view of many societies through history where young pregnancy was encouraged and the supportive motherly side of myself. She's really quite radiant and well as a whole. An angel to be around when she visits me. (This is a tiny, tiny, tiny portion of the email I got from her... there's was lot more, all fascinating... it would unleash a deluge to get her on our system!)

from: dani mailto://dani@address.net I would like to see topics about social issues and not just social issues that have to do with being or interacting on and in cyberspace..but social issues that we, as people, have to deal with in our every day lives for the most part. I'm fascinated with social issues and can discuss them for hours on end, it seems. I'm speaking of all kinds of things like the death penalty, crime and punishment, the welfare system, social movements, political movements, abortion, drug problems, anything and everything that we, as a society, deal with ad naseum. I also like talking and discussing issuess dealing with the media and how it really affects our thoughts...you know, things like that. Another thing I enjoy almost more than anything (online that is) is playing MUDs...I'd like to see topics covering social aspects of MUDs as well as possible problems and possible positive interactions that add to a person's real life. Hmmm...anything else, I wonder? Nothing I can really think of at this time...bet you're sorry you asked me now, huh? You probably never expected to get this lengthy of a reply :) anyhow I appreciate you taking the time to actually ask me what I thought...I find that to be a cool thing :) And no matter what anyone posts about you and your reactions to any given thing, I'll always remember that you took the time to wonder about my thoughts. Thank you :) Take care and hope this answers your questions (ha...like it wouldn't =) ) Later... Dani

mailto://billw@iwaynet.net (Bill) Terry--Sure, I'd love to have a link from the Spring to my pages. I just logged on to the Spring a few days ago and started looking around. Poked into a discussion about Buddhism which is a central interest of mine. I'm sort of a born again (!) Tibetan Buddhist, I guess. Besides that, the two things I seem to be most interested in are what people are doing with kids and computers--(especially projects oriented toward creating new work rather than CD-ROM tutorial or gaming type stuff) and digital video I can't remember if the Spring supports HTML or allows graphics to be referenced like Electric Minds. If it does it might be nice to have a conference devoted to sharing of people's online visual art. I think there are lots of amateur visual artists out there with no forum to share in who might be eager to post their work. Maybe something with a size limit on postings or a way to post big images hidden or something.

From: Meredith Russell mailto://mrussell@wyoming.com Content is optional- I come for the interactions rather than a specific topic although I am interested in many of the techno-geek, too new-agey to use the term new age stuff - personal growth and developement, pushing the envelope of inner experience, how to be a good person and still work for a corporation, how to not work for a corporationa and still make enough money to afford gadgets like fast computers and associated toys. I do have a home page, http://member.tripod.com/~maru/index.html but the tripod server seems to be down today, I can't get there from here either Well, blah, blah, blah, if this is interesting/useful/whatever, ask for some more, I can go on and on... I checked briefly into your place. Hot springs are another favorite thing of mine. What are you up to at your site? Meredith (I created a hot springs topic in the porch conference).

Let me know if you write thse folks by posting a bried comment here. I justg wish I had more time to write all these folks the considered replies that they deserve. If you take an interest in one of the letter writers, please drop them an email of encouragement and support. If nothing else, send them some warm holiday greetings. Thanks!
~terry Sun, Dec 8, 1996 (19:20) #12
And believe me, Linda Mae's letter must have been five pages of text, I've never received such an outpouring! Please encourage her by sending her warm thoughts and give her encourgement to visit here!

My interests are knowledge sharing and creation. I'm convinced that community is the next wave on the internet. Community represents a more tangible cyber product than content, it has greater creative powers and is more difficult to replicate. A vibrant community has value in the marketplace!. Value to the host through contributions from customers and visitors and value to those who converse, win-win. I would appreciate an easy way to match my interests with current and past posts. The neatest thing would be some intelligent agent that would scan my profile and monitor my wanderings and then help me locate "interesting" posts AND people. and monitor my wanderings and then help me locate "interesting" posts AND people. Does the Spring have some sage advice on community building? best software + interfaces + behavior to bootstrap, build and cultivate a strong group? I guess you are doing some e-networking with this post and would be interested to hear what results you achieve.

...even though my ISP will let me setup a web page for free, I have not really been able to figure out how to do it yet. Though an avid bbs user for a few years now and computer junkie for many years before that (no phone for 8 years!), I am really new to the internet and I do not get HTML at all (duh). In fact, as much as I enjoy the discussions on eminds, I am fairly clueless as to how that interface works as well. It absolutely made my head hurt the first couple of times I tried to find my way around there. Such a cool idea though. that sounds great, I will check it out for sure, though I have never been west of New York state, so I don't know what I might add to discussions about the Austin, Texas scene... > And hoping you have a fine holiday season. ...and the same to you, Paul.

From: ----summer---- mailto://sfgibb@mail.wm.edu I'm also new to chatting - so I haven't really done much as of now (with finals coming up I'm EXTREMELY stressed) - after finals I can't wait to get talking! Let's see -about me, I'm a soph at William and Mary -thinking about a triple in Environmental, Psychology and International Studies (East Asian) -I'm taking Chinese (don't ask me why - I have NO East Asian ancestry at all) I have danced, mainly ballet, for the last 15 years, I love the outdoors - rock climbing, skydiving, backpacking,etc, and animals (my dog is probably my best friend) - I have never been in a relationship that lasted past 2 weeks -for some reason I always get tired of the guy after two weeks - but I am a true romantic - and can't wait until I find the right guy. Hmmm...I guess that's enough senseless bs about me -any topics that have to do with anything listed above would be wonderful -if you have any spare time please let me know what I should check out (and any ins and outs of the system that would make my life easier) Thanks - Summer

mailto://Michalis.Giannakopoulos@studi.epfl.ch (Michalis Giannakopoulos) Hello, (I'm sorry if I don't write english very well) My favorite topics : "my life today" and "ici on parle francais". But i don't take the time to see a lot of another topics. A topic which should be most intersting to me(but maybe I'm just not able to find it) is conversations about relationship between humans and between humans and..life, and "rules"of human being that people can detect or imagine. But I don't want a scientific or psychologic topic, I just like feelings of people when the're talking. I like the way that everyone speak with everyone but it seems to me that there is a big lack of humor. I don't have a web page, but I can have one. Like I already said, I just don't take the time to build it. I already have a lot of things that I want to do and I don't find the time to do it...like everybody I think..I sure like to find time to build my own home page, but I should learn it(it don't seems difficult at all). I must go to work, now. I hope I have answered to your questions. Michalis Giannakopoulos (I'd love to offer Michalis a web page -ptw)

G'day, Thanks for your kind words, I would love to participate in Spring I love seeing what people's backgrounds and hobbies are. I basically love hearing others ideas on things I feel strongly about. It makes me feel part of a bigger International picture. I would like for there to be more international spots such as one from New Zealand and more from South America. I can't think of anything else but I promise to Email you if I do. I think it is important to our knowledge of other countries and cultures. Thanks once again, please write again sometime.

From: "Nina Johnson" mailto://NBJ695@novell4.bham.ac.uk I support disucussion of important (and sometimes less important) subjects espacially over the internet, but I prefer to use the IRC's flexibility and instant answers compared to the conferencing by posting messages. Both of them have bad point and good points in their functionality, but I just have decided on using IRC. but I just have decided on using IRC. I appreciate the good job you guys are doing, and it is about to spread into something big. But for now I have to give it a pass. But the offer for my own spot of discussion on your server DOES sound interesting. Let me think about it, I'll try and decide if I have the time for running a site like that, although I do have the topic I'd like to evoke some discussion. Thanks!! Nina

Paul, scrolling through the above make me realise how little I know about spring myself; all I've had time to look at besides Austen is a brief dabble in Yapp (whinging again!). I've wondered about what you're trying to do here, is there any info on Spri ng as a whole about?
~terry Mon, Dec 9, 1996 (21:29) #27
Glad you have asked. I am starting new conferences and inviting new folks all the time. We've had a major upsurge in inquiries and activity in the last few days so I really hope folks here in austen will join more conferences and give the newcomers encouragement. And take a bit of time to write some of the above folks and let them know they're welcome and offer to be their "big brother or sister"! If there's a topic you would like to talk about besides the wonderful ones here in austen, feel feel to create it! Today, we have a lot of folks coming here for the first time and, unless we encourage them and respond to them, I fear we may lose them. The austen conference is bound to benefit from the growth and prosperity of the Spring as a whole.

From fatty: Fatty believe chemical basis of brain will have tremendous impact in next 10-20 years. More than computers. Fatty use self example. Fatty classified Bipolar. Rollercoaster ride. Heaven and hell. Heaven, Fatty do impossible. Hell, Fatty don't do shit. Spring, take your own situation concerning the recent wipeout. You reacted very strongly, forcefully. How you react if brain chemistry different? Shrug it off? Go brood? Give up? Who knows? Action depend on chemicals. And chemical pharmacy poised for new influence. Fatty think there will be plenty competition for the new god. One way - electronics. Other way - brain chemicals. Probably end up with synthesis. But all this leave religion out in cold. No telling how religion react to encroachment from these two. Fatty predict massive social upheaval next decade, but not directly from above. Other factors play part. Topic maybe? Topic for sure! -ptw

Hi Terry Sure you can use my comments...and if you could create one topic of interest to me on the Spring I guess it would be something that could encompass social issues...not any one issue but a place where people who were interested in those kinds of things could go to discuss things like that. Not sure how you'd do it or if you'd even want to, but that's what would interest me the most I believe. Thanks again. Dani mailto://dani@address.net

I think everyone search at least one relation with someone else. But most people want more. I think there are two reasons for this. First, you can't think alone a long time without becoming a little crazy. Second, between all pleasures you can obtain on this earth, I think these provided by other persons are the best. I talk about myself and I'm just a little student but what I'm working is just a way to buy my dreams with friends. Sure I quite like what I'm doing, but I can't do only that(I'm becoming a little crazy after only seven weeks of great work). So I'm always searching for new minds and characters to "learn" how they work, the way they think, it's the most interesting "game" I ever played.It's just by derision(I hope this word exist in english!) that I call it "game", there are too many emotions to laugh about it. I'm not really always and everywhere searching, I already have too much work in talking with my friends, because I don't know all them very well. When I think about it, I couldn't live without them. That's the way it seems like a game : if you don't have friends, you die, if you can talk and do a lot of things with them, you have pleasure. Pleasure in general is of course the goal of the life (for me, and I think for everybody). I resolved my game by this way : doing good to people I like is a pleasure. That's all I can write now, but that's not all. I hope it responds to your question. Mika mailto://Michalis.Giannakopoulos@studi.epfl.ch

~terry Mon, Dec 9, 1996 (22:09) #42
In the last couple of days the Spring has gotten some great mail and we have new folks poking around in many conferences looking for someone to talk to. The Spring is at a major turning point! We can respond to these folks and start to gain critical mass or we can sink back down into obscurity. You can make a difference. My seeking these folks out and finding their responses around the Sprnig and encouraging them, these folks may well become regulars and the whole Spring will start to lift up. It can happen! I need your help!. I've just started working and intense job and there's no way I can give quality responses to everyone. And it's hard to keep trying to pump up every conference here except this one (which needs no pumping up). Just look at the great responses today of Stacey Vura in food and in ftiness. And the folks introducing themselves in the porch conference. And read and reread the emails that I've posted here. It can happen here! We can play on the net too! And you can help to make it happen.

From: "CLAUDIA VIEIRA SANTOS" mailto://CSANTOS@MRE.GOV.BR . . . It is hard to say which are my preferred topics right now since I have just started communicating via cyberspace, I am still trying to tap on something that motivates me to become a regular. I usually go to conversations and read postings on literature and music and travel related topics. I actually feel the absence of a movie-related topic as well as pictorial arts. I love 360 because one gets to hear so much from a lot of different places and people. The reason I don't have a web page is because it never ocurred to me to have one. I will check on spring asap and let you know what I think of it. Bye, claudia

In what we laughingly refer to as real life, I'm the married mother of two boys & I write science fiction. So I wrote her and told her about the folks in this conference. Why don't you drop her a line suggesting she do a story about this fascinating group? -ptw

Amy - re 47; I haven't but I'm willing to do so, if that's OK with you Terry - I really need to have a closer look at the rest of spring before I comment on this, but I find the number and range of the above somewhat intimidating. Am I right in thinking that you're trying to create (a) web-based community(ies)? I have had to rearrange my schedules to allow me to participate at my current level, and I suspect many others here are in the same position. Have you considered (you may already have and I haven't found it) a welcome to spring conference and an FAQ rather than trying to handle them all on an individual basis? A general conference on life the universe and people might not go astray; besides the web, general people type discussion seems to be frequently mentioned by your respondents. You may have noticed we tend to veer to the people in general from P&P and I for one would participate in such a conference

I created porch for just this reason. It's meant to be a people place and the central place on the Spring to find out what's going on, like being out on the 'porch'! If you're lacking in time, perhaps you could pick just one new person to be a 'big sister' to?

Yes, but I am too confused to pose it properly in English. Something about telnetting, which the kindly Drratthing has taken care of,how you get rid of those thingies when you hit the wrong key out of habit and inflict them on your post.

Monks - man erinnert sich gerne an die Guz/Monks-Coverstory der letzten Ausgabe, bzw. ich mit Scham, weil es meine Schuld war, dass der Initiator jenes Beitrags, Ralf Bei der Kellen/Osnabr�ck, der auch Einleitung, Zwischentexte, etc. verfasste, versehentlich nicht genannt wurde. Das sei hiermit nachgeholt. Entschuldigung, Ralf! by Alexander Shuth from http://www.the-monks.com/5upstart_german.htm an article titled The Monks Five Upstart Americans
