Systems from the top: thanks!

[Ed Gallaher]

I have really enjoyed the very thoughtful continuing thread on ownership of
ideas in a consulting environment. This work lies outside my universe, but
I am trying to learn as much about the "real world" of system dynamics
practice and theory, and this thread has been particularly informative.

Thanks once again to Bob Eberlein for moderating this listserve. I have
participated in a number of listserves over the past few years, and most of
them evolve into real time-wasters. The SD list is generally very much on
track, but once in a while strays slightly, at which time we get a gentle
reminder from Bob (a balancing loop?) to keep things focused and
productive. I really appreciate this resource!

[ Hosts Note: It might be useful to take Eds comment as a indication that
the ownership discussion has probably run its course and should be
left fallow for a period.]
