    Perhaps the reason people don't enter base notes is that they may
    feel uncomfortable or shy about bringing up a subject.  The subject
    might be a bit close to them emotionally, and they may fear "flames"
    which translated into another word could mean "rejection" for some.
    Taking a risk isn't easy.  Heck, I'm taking a risk entering this
    note.  But, if I (we?) don't risk, I don't have anything, do anything
    and, most of all, I don't learn anything.  How can we learn, if
    we don't risk.
    
    Kerry risks.  He goes ahead and writes how he feels.  He appears
    to say, "the heck with what other people think, (and, please note
    that i said think, not feel,) it doesn't matter."  What matters
    is how I feel!  He gets flamed and goes right back in and says
    more.  Sometimes, he's just joking.  Sometimes, serious.  He risks.
    He learns.
    
    I've been a reader of womannotes and other notes for some time.
    I've read topics/replies Kerry has written.  
    
    Read between the lines folks, you just might be pleasantly
    surprised......:-)

    A basenote, Mr. Kerry "Manners" Faulkner, can be the very easiest
    note to write.  You don't have to know any answers.  You may not
    even have to develop any arguments.  Some people have been known
    to just drop in a flaming basenote, and sit back to enjoy a five-
    alarm blaze.
    
    A regular flow of new basenotes would help keep the conference lively,
    though.  And lately it looks like Kerry has taken this awesome
    responsibility onto himself.
    
    Maybe we ought to help him out, lest (applying foresight here),
    Kerry ends up setting the agenda for these discussions.

    And if I don't have the foresight to get out of here and exercise, I'm
    going to have another pound of hindsight.

    "never" ??
    
    You're generalizing.
    
    (You can no doubt find someone who writes a lot of responses, and
    does not enter basenotes.  I can find others who write a lot of
    responses and who do enter basenotes.  Why engage in this?)

    the word generalize was invented for people that can't argue.
