I would like to wish everyone a very prosperous upcoming 2026. Let's make
it the best ever.
I also want to discuss our Group. We have not been active. I think there
are a few reasons.
First, I think being restricted to @gmail.com means the messages do not go
to the members' primary email address and are easily missed. I also have
found Groups to be a little twitchy and non-intuitive at times.
Second, I haven't been a very good leader. Its been a busy semester for me.
But when i did post something, there was very little chatter about it, and
we haven't had many independent posts from members. We have had a couple
rogue posts about "cleaning services." I have eliminated those "members"
who signed up for inappropriate reasons. I have also temporarily set up
monitoring so I can filter out junk before it bothers you.
We have two choices. One, we can proceed, and I will do my best to be more
active. I will post at least once a week and maybe more. This is really an
exciting (and dangerous) time for both e-discovery and the academy. It is
hard to image that there aren't innumerable things we can learn from one
another though a dialogue. But I can't do it myself. We need a
participation commitment from the members. The idea of the Group is to
learn and grow through our interaction.
Or, maybe this isn't the right time for this Group, and it should be
disbanded for now. You all let me know. If I get a response from this
email, we'll keep it going. If not, we'll try the Group again another time.
Yours,
Bill
