This is exactly like the old American 'wild west', a new community social
outlet without guidance or rules... (the reply to check usenet2 would
appear
to have merits) ... unfortunately without sherrifs to shoot the bad guys
(or
sue as is appropiate these days) we must fend for our own - and in viewing
the field it may be assumed that a granted on "our" journey is to
trust -....in your god, in your self, in your karma, what ever is your
CORE
to bring en-light-enment MEANING-full enhancing understanding as to the
current quest.
I have the same peeve/gripe, and found on a path of confusion the only
solace that what I am ready for I will be shown (para-phrase of old -'when
student is ready the teacher shall appear' (more could be said)) - does
apply. Cheers, good luck, and god-speed, JB
