Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] trying to sort it all out

How about an idea that might help you?
I went back and counted. I've written 12 emails to this list in the last 2
days. I think that's a record for me. I have no idea how many you've
written, but I know it's been a lot.
I think part of the problem you're having about accuracy is related to sheer
quantity of email. Not every single reply to something you've said needs an
answer. The quantity of mail would be horrendous if everybody replied that
many times. (It's already pretty heavy today!)
Maybe it would help if you read email in blocks (getting on digest helps for
that) and then answered those messages that you really felt needed an
answer. I find that when I read a bunch, then write, I've had time to
think, and I benefit from having heard other folks' perspectives as well.
On a personal note, I find it easier to read your posts when you space
between quotes and commentary. That helps me. The ones that run together
are tough to read.
I hope you are learning and growing from your reading here. I am.

Hi Brenda,
Yes, I have wrote a lot, more than I have time for, really. I've deleted a lot, but most seem to address me and ask things of me in particular. Ho Hum.
I've also noticed that the spaces don't always appear, and wondered why. Anyone have any ideas? I enter at least twice before and after, and usually have a good inch space on my screen before I send it.
Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, I am DEFINITELY learning.
