RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Purpose of psubs.org?

["Joseph Perkel" <joeperkel@hotmail.com>]

Pierre,

As you mention in your post, I believe sincerely in the dual purpose 
of......
1)"people sharing a dream".....and 2) technical discussions.

Most people on various forums will never actually accomplish the stated 
goals, whether that be aircraft, ROVS, Submersibles, Boats....or most other 
things of interest.

The common thread of course is the subject of interest. Simply discussing 
the subject and sharing ideas and aspirations will by default...advance the 
cause of whatever it is.

There have been times on this forum where I sense a reluctance and or fear 
to participate, and this can be attributed to misplaced or projected anger / 
frustration. The cause of which is unlikely to be "sub" related. Human 
nature...life and it's realities seeping through.

I myself was "set up" for a perceived failure not long ago and have 
experienced a "snub" or two. The recent nastiness is the kind of thing that 
puts people off. But, I keep the above in perspective and keep on trucking 
along.

Bottom line....I find much more positive than negative here and feel the 
majority is in agreement.

Joe
