diogenes_athens' Interview
DA:How long have you been in GeoCities?
Since August 26, 1996
DA:What brought you to GeoCities? What is the thing you like the best?
I was spending my birthday alone, I had seen the ads for "free homepages" and never before that night decided to see if the "free" part was actually true.
The ease of use and ability to express myself and meet new people.
DA:How long have you been a liaison?
Since February of 1998
DA:What exactly is a liaison? Can you describe your duties?
A go-between, an organizer. I take the general over all thoughts from the
other leaders and express them as a whole to Geocities. One voice speaking
for several, this saves time and energy.
DA:What is the best thing about Athens?
The people it attracts.
DA:If you could give out one piece of advice to those interested in Athens,
what would it be?
I don't like this question, it is unfair. The Athens theme is to wide and drawn out for this to work. What would work for one homesteader would not work for another. Athens has too many opposites within it.... We have Christians and Pagans, Teachers
and Home Schooling parents, Debaters and Philosophers... The differences are too great to offer one peace of advice
that would fit all, we are more diverse then that, but that is what also makes us strong.
DA:What are you personal interests?
== Left Blank ==
DA:How would you like to be thought of: in Athens? in real life?
Just as a person, like everyone else.
DA:What is your biggest contribution to the Athenian philosophy?
There is actually not any Athenian philosophy here. We help people, but we don't teach philosophy. That is not our purpose here, we are here to help others in the way we wish we were helped or had been helped when we first ventured into Athens.
DA:Anything you would like to add about yourself that the readers may be
interested in?
Not really... I'm a very personal person, and I don't share much of who I am. I like to be known as the person I am, not as a few words written on paper. Reading who I am, will never tell anyone exactly who I am.
After all, think of Rebecca.
DA:Thank you for your time Melisa.
