>>Hello all
>>
>>I would like to weigh in on this too.  I walked last year.  I know it was
>>extremely important for me to have a place to ask the personal and
>>practical
>>questions.  The fact is, many of those were answered more than adequately
>>at
>>websites (ones that have already been mentioned on this listserv).
>>
>>But I have to agree that I am beginning to think I want off this
>>listserve--it is a bit exasperating to find (today) 46 messages, after I
>>took off 39 yesterday, some of which simply say "no, I got mine at Basic
>>Outfitters."  I want to agree that some way of limiting responses, or even
>>finding another way to handle the "what kind of shoes" question, is a good
>>idea.  Maybe we should say one response per day is the limit.
>>
>>At a deeper level, though: What I find missing is some reflection on the
>>meaning of the Camino, its history and culture, what people are
>>discovering
>>along the way.  I know Preston Pittman mentioned both the Game of the
>>Goose
>>and the Black Virgin shrines along the way; those are rich topics.  But I
>>see that no one picked up on them.
>>
>>I would love to talk about the square outside the Iglesia de Santiago in
>>Logrono where the Game of the Goose and the Camino are fused.  But I did
>>not
>>receive any takers when I mentioned that topic several weeks ago.
>>
>>Maybe that is all I need to say: this could be so much more than a flood
>>of
>>emails about water and bathrooms, of which I delete nearly all.  I guess I
>>want to continue to LEARN about the Camino--I would be happy to
>>participate
>>in another listserve, if that is set up, where that could happen.
>>
>>I hope I don't sound like a jerk.  Email is a tricky medium--but I guess
>>that's the point.

>>We're a large group now on Gocamino (ole' ! ) and I'm counting about 30 -
>>50 messages a day now.
>>
>>Obviously Gocamino serves those who communicate on it. I've noticed that
>>several topics get recycled quite often. Some of the topics, such as how
>>and where to use the bathroom might best be answered privately to the
>>individuals making the query. And I think a quick scan of our archives may
>>answer some questions that seem to reappear weekly.
>>
>>As Chris Hewitt is fleshing out a new page for our(Friends of the Road to
>>Santiago) website on "Frequently Asked Questions," I hope that you've been
>>offering answers to him about the basic issues about actually trekking to
>>Santiago.
>>
>>Thanks for keeping the list lively and interesting. I encourage other
>>kinds
>>of issues besides the day to day. Issues that deal with the history and
>>the
>>imagery found along the road, say, or how medieval "hospitalitas" is being
>>reinvented as the pilgrimage grows.
