Summary: 

While I do not endorse the creation of said group, I have to admit that I'm
weary of Jeff's unending self-invalidation as well.  I have a couple 
different reactions to it. 

Generally, when Jeff posts "something new"  (since WHEN?), I have a personal
reaction.  I want to reply or follow-up with an experience of my own; but
too many times Jeff's response has been "yes, but", so why bother?

Another factor we might consider is the "attention scale".  Jeff gets a 
lot of attention in this group for being the way he is.  Would he continue
to post if that attention dropped off?  After all, if he gets to be 
different (ie. "better"), how would he get attention on the net?

Obviously, there are readers who don't feel the sense of futility in 
reaching out to Jeff.  I think I get some value out of my personal reactions
to some of Jeff's "original" postings; however, I would like to see more 
of the follow-up moved to mail.  Please consider carefully, whether your
response is of of value to the group as a whole.
