Personally, I am not expecting anything to be resolved by this list!
That's the way I always felt, for instance, about education since I was in
the last two years of high school (...long... very long ago!). I see that
the conversation we have is great. I don't get to learn or be interested
in everything that is being said, but isn't that the way it always is?
That's the way it is in the family, we talk about many things even if we
are not interested in everything that is being said. That's the way it is
among friends, and other groups. What I see as the most important
contribution coming from this list to me is the incremental learning. But
it is up to me to put things to together so I get my temporary concerns
resolved! Again, I get one thing resolved today, and I will be working
with another concern tomorrow, or the same concern with a new twist.
Nothing really gets totally resolved...

-- Ivan,
