Very useful social network - thanks for leading. Would it be possible to post mails once a week covering links/threads posted daily. This may helpful to be focused on some specific ones - may also reduce number of emails in inbox!

Francesco Marelli said… - Dear Craig,
I hate spamming people, but this network is the only thing I make an exception for. Trust me, I am nonviolently (or so I believe) bombarding people about the usefulness and benefits of joining this network.
Dietrich arrived in Basel safe and sound, I will pass on your regards as promised.
Best,

- Dear Craig,
One small thing. Could you correct the link to the World Peace Academy you have included? It should be www.world-peace-academy.ch
It seems you left out the "-" signs and therefore it is not working.
Once more, thanks
Francesco
