<DIV>I surrender</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Too many people want a place to discuss source citations, so I think the
only option I have is to open the group up. I don't want to spend my days
turning any individuals away, or prevent them from being able to discuss source
citations. I've under-estimated the interest certainly! I thought it
would attract about a dozen people!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I intended to form was a study group that would involve only
beginners, but already the mix of different levels of knowledge amongst those
who have signed up varies too widely. So that intent has
already been watered down. But I can't honestly turn people away any
longer. So let's see how an open list goes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm still going to run time-limited study sessions on the open group,
starting with basics and proceeding forward to more advanced approaches. I
think beginners will benefit from the mix of ongoing questions
about people's particular source citation problems (which will
represent the daily use of the list) while at the same time
periodically being presented with the more specific
"directed" topics that I want to provide over time. If that doesn't work
then I will create a second list restricted just to beginners. I
want people to feel comfortable in asking even the most basic questions.
I'm asking that more advanced members not just dish out complete answers, but
rather help point people in the right direction so they can learn how to get
there themselves (and that doesn't necessarily mean just pointing them to a page
in EE)</DIV>
