For myself, I wonder how much smaller a community can be than the present one. A lot of concerns I have about a lot of proposals are based on things that I remember from when Babble was a more robust community with new members coming in daily from the vast internet. Whereas now it does seem to be more like a small community of people who know each other well. Like a town on a state highway when the interstate bypasses it. Perhaps, like me, your memories influence your thoughts? I can't imagine what a gated community would do now in terms of size. It could be used, I suppose, so that Poster X wouldn't have to speak to Poster Y. But smaller than what? How many active posters are there right now?
2000 operated along those lines. Are you looking for a similar result?
Bon chance, Dr. Bob. I hope your vision of Babble is all that you dreamed it would be.
Dinah (who is doing a fair job of moving on - Thank you.)
