   Hi Harold,

   Can you check the itinerary page for your FLNW2 conversation at http://flnw.wikispaces.com/flnw2_itinerary

   We need to meet in SL sometime for prep.

   For the cartoon….I’ve heard of something similar in RL –

   I suffer from a similar ailment!

   Companies are big on honesty… until it hurts them. Increasingly, they talk about transparency, but if you reveal something that jeopardises the organisation’s chances of landing some mega deal, you’ll be for the high jump!

   For some reason, I seem not to have been fitted with the chip that alerts one to where the line is that divides situations-suitable-for-transparency from situations-in-which-to-keep-your-mouth-shut.

   I’ve long said that as often as not going to work in corporations is uneasily too much like going to grade school (or maybe high school) for adults.

   Everything is fine unless or until you speak out and say something the teacher doesn’t want to hear.

   The cartoon explains why I had trouble as an institutionalized teacher dealing with the admin!

   Well, we know who the natural bloggers are – the ones who can’t keep their mouths shut

   Not all bloggers are honest. So I guess some don’t have to worry about being fired for honesty.

   Do we have a name for people who spend time in Wikis. Wikiers???
