merHaba deqe 'bat,
As some have suggested in dehai, let's take some time off from all the
bickering that's going on One suggestion is for all to start thinking
about the upcoming retreat. Meeting the faces behind all those messages
and finding out that the real people are completely different than their
cyberspace representatives is one of the benefits and wonderful things the
retreat offers. Believe me, I have experienced it, first hand! Once
people realize that the gap is so huge and soooooooooo different, there is
an air of love in the atmosphere. As Ghenet Mogus put it,
"I had never seen so much love in one place, and it is funny how the
discussion in person is much pleasant then thru computer,
I was glad to have met everyone and hugged and kissed everyone hope
we don't have to wait a whole year to do this again."
