[MD] A PROPOSAL TO ADDRESS "THE POINT"

[ian glendinning]

Platt,
You said
It's been my experience that those who "emerge" from a group are not necessarily
the best leaders, nor are the best works produced by a committee.

Wholeheartedly agreed.
OK so where from there ?
We know what you don't like.

What is the alternative to letting leaders "emerge".
No clues needed ? Shall we spread a little of that precious democratic
freedom, maybe ?

What kinds of "committee" are the lesser of that particular evil ?
(Maybe transparent ones we can replace at the drop of a hat, maybe
ones that don't "produce" anything, merely resolve editorial chores on
our behalf. What are your ideas ?)

Ian
aka The Prick (of Conscience, what else ?)
BTW I didn't know you believed in the existence of emergence :-)
