Hi Yasmin,

Thanks, and I agree. I will send out tribe invites, and I welcome other members to do the same. I do think 25 in a short time is pretty good without publicity, though. :)

The willingness of Gilded Serpent to tackle controversial issues and to critique belly dance artists' work honestly, if not always popularly, is something I appreciate. I agree this could be a place for editors to witness opinions and writers to see (or even seek?) feedback should they choose to. I also hope it is a place for readers (and perhaps writers/contributers) to freely continue and expand discussion on GS topics. While GS has a letters to the editor page, but it does not foster discussion (just by the nature of it being an edited letters section).

Anyway, thanks for the feedback and for joining the tribe!
