In conclusion, after participating in the discussion for at least half an hour, I felt no smarter or more knowledgeable about anything. There was too much spamming, and a lot of off-topic questions were posted. I think it would be better if a "group" could be made for the discussions, where each person who wants to take part would have to be "approved" first with a username and then double-checked with the one on T 11. Then, we wont have six random Lee Ashers and Danny Garcias. Also, moderators would be nice. I was listening to JB talk about this at the end, and it sounds like a good idea. I could volunteer for something like this, and it would give us T 11 members something to make us feel like we're helping out.
Lastly, the discussions on the website were pretty informative..... if I was a gossip girl in the sixth grade. Maybe there should be a specific focus to a possible weekly discussion, and that way anyone who wanted to actually know something could voice out his/her opinion easily and without doubts that it would have to be posted 20 times in CAPS and in BRIGHT YELLOW to be seen.
Hope my input offends no one.
