Our blog is not really a discussion forum. Only people with website logins can post and that restricts who can participate and I do not want to give everyone a login to post one time. We set the C group up with a WhatsApp group and that would be a much better place for a discussion. The blog is kind of a blast medium, one to all, and definitely not for discussions with a limited audience.
The other thing is that people mistakenly respond to blog posts by sending messages from the communicate form on website and the only people who see those messages are the 3 of us who handle SOB membership. No one else can see them and I am not going to forward them to whomever.
So, anyone who responded to Alan, he did not see your response unless you also emailed it direct to him. I suggest the C group figure out how they want to communicate and take this conversation to that mechanism, whatever (or whatsapp) it turns out to be.
