The Tea Makers

The Tea Makers Forum is now open to CBCers and the public alike.

Why does the Tea Makers need a message board, anyways?

One of the things that’s frustrated me about this blog is that I control the dialogue. For me, the fun is in the comments. But if I don’t bring it up, it doesn’t get talked about.

Sometimes I’m busy. Sometimes I’m slow. Sometimes I have nothing to say.

I know a lot of smart people read this site. Why not turn the dialogue over to them?

Another reason is that I’m getting more and more emails these days. Some of them are fully-completed posts and I put them up as “guest bloggers.” Some are ideas. Or links. Some are long conversations. These people don’t have blogs, as far as I know, but they have something to say. Why not give them a space to say it?

Another reason is that some people have asked me to do it.

Another reason is that ever since the CBC took down its own message boards, I’ve missed them terribly.

Special thanks the great (and fake) Guylaine Saucier for helping me set it up.

Note that I don’t “own” this forum, a company called Forumer does. Anonymous postings are allowed and I can’t “track” you. And to be honest, I have better things to do with my time.

Enjoy.
