This very interesting discussion reveals that we have to think carefully on the diverse solutions possible. There are good arguments for names (as Bill suggests), but there are good arguments for omitting names, too, als Sylvia suggests. The names are not lost in that case, but could be received on special request from our database. The question only is: Should they be readble readily by all internet-surfers or not? Possibly there are different traditions in Europe and in America as data security is concerned. Certainly, quite a few friends would be happy about seeing names directly, but I fear quite a few would request to cancel theirs if openly displayed. The latter is quite impossible if the location would be given in detail; but even if there is only the town given I know spontaneously some people who would not bear that. I don’t say now that we will not openly display names, but we must think it over carefully regarding the pros and cons. Again: Any mails to info@parosphromenus-project.org would and will be answered, and if it’s request to help with the nearest living friends of the licorice, we shall give that information in private eMail (if we have it), of course.
Therefore further arguments are very much welcomed. Let’s take the necessary time to find the best solution. Until that we should discuss it.
One thing is quite clear already: We are moving towards a big step in making our network more useful. Thanks to you!
