[QUOTE="DDK, post: 611198, member: 6469"] [b]Good intentions are nice, but results equal achievement[/b] I'm surprised you see these as achievements. I know more about Jack Chick than I do about Mike Stackpole and I have zero interest in what Jack Chick has to say and put zero effort into trying to find out what he has to say. And yet, I know what he has said. Therefore the only conclusion I can come to, is that Mike Stackpole has failed where Jack Chick has succeeded. If the aim is to expand awareness, then how come, until now, I've never heard of Mike Stackpole. What has he actually DONE? Where is the evidence? So, in other words, they failed. That's not an achievement. Wonderful, I've often thought that such a program would be a good idea. However, what is the actual RESULT of these efforts? Exposing teachers to the potential is great, but have any significant numbers of teachers taken up this information and run with it? I'm sure there are a fair number of teachers on these boards. Eric Noah is a library teacher, IIRC, I wouldn't mind hearing about whether or not he's ever heard of anything like this and what the results were. That's wonderful but gamer's go to conventions so how that expands the market, I don't understand. Look, I'm not trying to cause trouble or incite people to rise up against GAMA, I'm just interested in expanding the market for the hobby. They way I see it, no-one is doing that; at least not successfully. Why all the resistance to such an idea? [/QUOTE]
