I prefered to see the creation of a certain class in CC.
When Paul Onstad died with whom I had exchanged a few
interesting notes on RGCC (after Sept 11, when I
participated mainly out of emotional reasons), I
saw how small the human factor is viewed in CC.
Ed Schroder by far isn't dead yet, but still,
I can't discover any good commentary from those who
usually give us _their_ interpretation of reality.
The question isn't part of CTF _at all_.
Usually I read a lot of "we" and "us", but we all must
confess that if we'd lose a family member we'd "mourn"
much more.

Are we immature gamblers or is CC a hell of DARWIN's
jungle/ playground?

It must be very depressing for Ed, but also for some
observers, because Ed wasn't exactly famous for being
the unemotional robot but a highly sensitive man out
of flesh, blood, in sum, many emotions. Neither for
Paul nor Ed, who's still alive, I read something
from the big names.

I wished that CCC had the wisdom to establish a culture
for the human aspect. In truth if we mourn we go through
a necessary  catharsis, we don't do it primarily for
those who have gone.
