Title: ****Please Read****
Post by KingOfPain on Mar 17^th, 2004, 3:37am

This is a post that IMHO everyone should read.
This is a re-post. I thought it deserved it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Elaine......I left CH.com once, as a way to make it impossible for me to fly in the face of some rude and offensive remarks which were being slung about. I know, this does not sound either positive nor constructive, but please, read on.
Scrambling uphill, here, as I have for the last...ummm, maybe year and a half, I find a lot of information I agreee with wholeheartedly....and a lot I choose to disagree with.....my choice, my reaction. I know....CH sufferers can be a contentious bunch...even that's cool...but I think OUCH could benefit from some Utopian Charm pills right about now.
OUCH needs all hands on deck....they have a huge agenda, and if even half of that is to be accomplished...there's gonna need to be some serious teamwork happening. WHEN all these things come about, it will benefit the masses, sooo, the masses should be doing what needs to be done. The OUCH BOD is a very small group of people. They cannot be expected to do all that needs to be done. If everyone capable were to bite off a chunk of a project, and work in harmony with their fellow team members, this could be a real win-win! The willingness to work toward a day when OUCH is no longer needed is the purest expression of their involvement! There are no egos where pain is concerned...more, it is survival.
There is an amazing wealth of talent here-and it should be tapped! It may be that not all projects can be public....but there must be something the willing can do right now. Perhaps posting a "Help Wanted" forum??
The BOD is a hardworking group of people. They have a daunting task- they must move this group forward, yet not ruffle any feathers. Moreover, they must learn to listen, respond and choose their battles wisely and with respect.
CH in itself, causes so much pain....why would ANYONE who visits here wish to cause any more pain?? This makes no sense to me at all.
Working together, puttting differences aside...planning on the future, delegating tasks, and focusing on the skills, the pofessionalism, the dedication and the pure need for some answers should supercede all of the anger and insecurity.
Everyone here is as different as they are alike....focus on the need, unify in one unwavering voice.

The oars are waiting, the destination clear.
The message? There is no time to waste with negativity. The course is set, the captain is at the helm... help your President and his staff move all involved toward a PF life.
Don't tolerate any lack of movement, don't allow dissension to eat at the shell of this boat.

I hope your questions open up a huge dialog, Elaine.
The cohesiveness of this group is of utmost importance.

Cathi
