Well, three of our seven presenters have their pieces up in what is proving to be a fascinating and rich symposium!
In what has been an opening three days plagued by technical difficulties, Gaia-gremlins, bad astrology, Mac conspiracy, and mis-calibrated magical intentions, the first two presenters ended up having to post about 8 hours later than anticipated, the third has yet to post and the prolific and prodigious Matt Segall has posted three days early!
Once again our symposium ine-up is sweeping the boards on Gaia's hottest blog post listings on the homepage. We (meaning Bruce, James and Matt) hold all three of the automatically listed positions. In a community made up of close to a quarter million people this is a fun and exciting achievement!
Here's a snapshot for posterity:
(Anyone who knows how to fix James' text so that it doesn't show up as the above html craziness on the homepage, even though it looks perfect on his blog, will win a special symposium honor....)
Bruce and James' excellent posts and their miles deep conversation in the comments section (I think the most prolific comment spree in zymposium history!) are linked below.
Here is Matt's remarkable and brilliant piece (I expected nothing less).
Adam's contrapuntal German hammer blow of love should be descending any minute now.... :O)
Thanks for your participation!

Looks like James pasted from Microsoft Word. He can try pasting from Word to Notepad, then from Notepad to the blog editor screen. He'd have to redo all the formatting in the blog editor though. He could also try uploading the document to Google Docs, then pasting from Google Docs to the blog editor, which would probably keep the formatting.
james you listenting?
if this works teacup gets an honory mention in the symposium hall of fame (which, combined with a masssive dollop of gratitude and about 75 cents will probably buy a soy chai latte at a nearby coffee shop!)
brilliant - thanks Mr T and J - i'll get onto it.
i dont know if this is true for anyone else - but anytime i open your post now james my browser freezes and prior to that clicking on the “add your smart-ass and condescending comment” button was making it freeze…. :O(
I get a little message that Microsoft Word is trying to add something to the page when I first click on James' blog, so I think going to Notepad and then back is probably the best option.
In your blog entry above, Julian, did you mean to say 3 of our 7 presenters, rather than 3 of our 4?
Best wishes,
B.
i just went back in time and changed that bruce - thanks for making the technology available!
i guess this proves that the power of intention can overcome even the most obstinate of technological difficulties?
In all seriousness, it has been a great learning experience so far, and we're only half way through! I'm really looking forward to how this thing wraps itself up.
In a way I'm glad that Adam has been delayed a bit, as I was worried about two posts going up on the same day being a bit distracting. But I am excited about the European flavor that you will bring to the table, Adam, so hurry up!
Might there be other reasons for your delay?

nice one…
Mr T
I redid everything using notepad but no luck… thanks for the advice anyway.
Mr T! Julian!
It worked! Gaia must have re-set itself (or something). Good old Notepad!
To see the relults of your excellent advice go to the Gaia Community Home Page - Explore Tab - Hot Blogs - 7Days - et voila!
Thankew!
Haaah….And everything in the world is right again….
What's Mr T's prize Julian?
an honorabl emention from a group of dishonourable scallywag pseudo-intellectuals?
