An e-communication to the DGM Team…

team - i hate the advertising. i can bear the blue google adverts, but when things flash, and there are young women in t-shirts, and links to KC bootlegs on e-bay & ringtones, this upsets me.

shall we turn it off immediately?

Periodically, I address & re-visit situations which have not worked for me before; such as tour buses, touring, photography & autography, even meeting innocent audients who only want to say hello. Having previously arrived at a considered position, from time to time I review that position & ask:

has the situation changed?

have I changed in respect of the situation?

is it time to revise my position?

Mostly, my guidelines & working assumptions as to what is a right course of action for me, when tested, are confirmed. This doesn't imply that the right course of action for me is the wrong course of action for others. It does mean that what is not right for me, is not for me to take on.

An experiment doesn't succeed or fail: it acquires data. The data I've received so far suggests that the site is better without advertising. One good practical outcome of going too far is that, afterwards, we can say: I’ve gone too far - that’s not for me.

Advertising on DDGM Live, in any presently conceived form, is not for me.

An early light supper & to gentle. T has an early beginning to her tomorrow-day.
