Paul Bruhns -> The Class System (Jul. 20 2003 18:13:07)

Hey Guys: What's up with "Founding Member, Senior Member, New Member" status labels? Does being a senior member, for example, provide the holder with a higher status and more privelege than a starting member for example? Does it mean you are held in higher regard as a flamenco? Maybe I'm going to get on a soap box here for a minute, but I have to get this off my chest. Open forums are about everyone being equal. It encourages fresh opinions and ideas that otherwise would not appear because the forum was not accessible to everyone. Now, not only is this place Member only, but it is also "Classed", which amounts to an elitest approach to membership. To me, this says that before too long, you will all whither on the flamenco vine; stuck in your own rutts with no freshness of ideas and growth. I would encourage you to make this an open forum, available to anyone on the "Free Internet". Remember, we are all children of the world... here to share ideas and opinions. There is no class system intrinsic to the universe... we're just here for a while, so why not open up and share? Thanks for the space! :-)
