Re: [ga-rules] Sheriff or Marshall or Mentor

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Eric and all

  I am all for the buddy system as Joanna suggests, but do not believe
it should be a formal or mandatory practice within the DNSO, but rather
should be a voluntary program that the NC and the DNSO GA should
encourage and vote upon as a "Pilot Program" for new participants that
feel they need a "Buddy" and a "Buddy" is available for such voluntary
duty.

  As to your closing comment.  Yes it is unfortunate that we have some
depraved individuals on this and other DNSO forums/ML's that take such
an ugly and Censoring attitude.  It is possible that they more than anyone
is in need of a "Buddy" to help mentor them so they can mend the error
in their ways....   I encourage them to seek that obviously needed
mentor's guidance and counciling.
