[Nfb-krafters-korner] Some Thoughts

[qubit]

I agree with this.  There is something about a recording that could be sold 
or distributed far and wide that would make most people very guarded about 
asking questions, and if they ask, how would they phrase the question to 
assist anyone else who might have the same or related question?  It is good 
to be careful when phrasing a question, but a formal class on display is 
actually more of a performance than a class, like an infomercial.
I look at the recordings as something that can help the people in the 
recording or even the instructor, who would use it to improve in teaching 
methods, but normally not something sold.
Ok, now you can shoot holes in my logic...*smile*

We also have to remember that when members of the class talk on the 
recordings they become part of the situation. When I am struggling with a 
craft and ask lots of questions and feel as though I sound dumb I am doing 
it thinking that the info will be given to only those at the class. It might 
be harder for members of a class to ask questions if they are concerned 
about the recording being distributed to others.

This is just a thought. Please take this message as something to think 
about. I don't have answers, just lots of questions.
